Bug Description
Sometimes, after installing fuse-utils, /dev/fuse has group root instead of group fuse, causing FUSE filesystems to fail:
crw-rw----+ 1 root root 10, 229 2008-11-04 03:21 /dev/fuse
One way to reliably reproduce this problem is as follows:
1. aptitude install fuse-utils
2. aptitude purge fuse-utils
3. reboot
4. aptitude install fuse-utils
The problem here is that the fuse module is loaded on boot after 3 (because it was added to /etc/modules) without /etc/udev/
(I have reports that this problem can be triggered without first installing and purging fuse-utils, but I’m not yet sure how.)
The node is correctly reassigned to group fuse upon /etc/init.d/udev restart, or on the next reboot. Probably the fix is to restart udev on fuse-utils postinst.
