Comment 1 for bug 1266288

Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I can see that running check_perms myself does warn of problems on a freshly installed system.

Is there a specific problem that you're facing here, or is it just that /usr/lib/mailman/bin/check_perms doesn't like the default packaged permissions?

Is there any Debian or Ubuntu specific documentation that tells you to run this command, or could it just be that the upstream-supplied program is not aware of Debian/Ubuntu packaging specifics with respect to permissions? Is the bug here just that the packaging shouldn't supply the check_perms command as it makes no sense to run it on a mailman system provided by packaging?

Or, otherwise, can you please provide a test case for actual functionality that appears broken as a result of supposedly broken permissions?
