Comment 1 for bug 821328

This bug is still present in Linux Mint 17.

It does have an impact on the usability of the system. Files that are incorrectly installed under UID/GID 1000/1000 are sometimes inaccessible to other users of the system, even though they are intended to be available to other users. This can cause unexpected software failures.

Encountered on Linux Mint 17 Mate 32-bit.
