Bug Description
On ubuntu 16.04, doing
sudo apt-get install lxd
sometimes leaves the file
/var/
with group root, but it should have group lxd. Doing
sudo systemctl restart lxd.socket
rescues the file and gives it the right group ownership.
Adding logging to the package's postinst shows that, if /var/lib/
deb-systemd-helper enable lxd.service
and with the wrong group permissions.
If the socket already existed with the correct group ownership that command breaks the permissions and sets it to be group root.
It's about 90% repeatable on one machine here (with an SSD main disk).
