Bug description:
  The installed tests are not happy in Questing,
  https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/g/gdk-pixbuf

  Debugging it seems like something went weird with the build

  $ ls -ld /usr/libexec/installed-tests/gdk-pixbuf/test-images/*
  drwx------ 2 root root  4096 Jul 28 12:15 /usr/libexec/installed-tests/gdk-pixbuf/test-images/fail
  drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Jul 28 12:15 /usr/libexec/installed-tests/gdk-pixbuf/test-images/gif-test-suite
  drwx------ 2 root root  4096 Jul 28 12:15 /usr/libexec/installed-tests/gdk-pixbuf/test-images/randomly-modified

  
  Those directories are 700, but they are 775 in Debian for the same source and in the previous Ubuntu build. Unsure what went wrong, maybe some rust coreutils problem?

  Rebuilding in a ppa shows the same result...
