Comment 5 for bug 1799019

That is not the only bug that has “slip through our radar”. The latest
update of Ubuntu MATE lies about the owner of files both in the command
line ls -l command and the Caja Properties window. Both claim the owner is
root. Since I am logged on a robert not root I would not be able to create,
modify, or delete any files in my system (ls always says to owner is root).
Since I can make changes then either the file system permissions code is
broken or the owner is being incorrectly reported.

I reported this problem about 4 weeks ago. It has “slip through our radar”.
No response from anybody despite the fact that this is a security problem
in the basic kernel.
