Editing ID3 tags leads to files disappearing from Squeezebox (changes file permissions to 600)

[Felix Kuehling]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Editing ID3 tags in Rhythmbox changes the file permissions to 0600 (readable and writable by the owner and nobody else). This leads to the changed songs disappearing from my Squeezebox since the squeezebox server loses permissions to read the files.

Expected behaviour: file permission bits should remain unchanged when editing ID3 tags
Actual behaviour: file permission bits are changed to 0600 unconditionally when editing ID3 tags

To me it's now just a minor annoyance since I can easily change the permissions back. But it took me several hours to figure out what was happening, in which I found out more than I ever wanted to know about ID3 tags before realizaing that the answer was as simple as file permissions.

Maybe related to bug#181742 (Rhythmbox does not respect file permissions).

For me it is the same bug like #181742
