Comment 1 for bug 220087

Here's a debdiff.

This differs from the original approach for this SRU (as discussed with superm1 and slangasek). It was planned to change the code to ignore chmod/chown failures on package updates, but not on fresh installs. However, that doesn't make a lot of sense considering that people might already have the network mounts in place before they install the packages for the first time.

Maybe it'd be a good idea to check permissions and only fix them if necessary, but that'd be too intrusive for an SRU, IMHO.
