[Bug 1346703] Re: /var/log/maas/rsyslog has incorrect permission

[Jonathan Davies]

** Description changed:

  /var/log/maas/rsyslog/ is owned by maas:maas and has 755 permission
  after maas package installation. Therefore rsyslogd cannot write logs
  into the directory.
  
  How to reproduce:
-  1. prepare pristine trusty box
-  2. sudo apt-get install maas
+  1. prepare pristine trusty box
+  2. sudo apt-get install maas
  
  Expected result:
  /var/log/maas/rsyslog/ is owned by for example syslog:syslog.
  
  Actual result:
  $ ll /var/log/maas/rsyslog/
  drwxr-xr-x 2 maas maas 4096 Jul 22 01:13 ./
+ 
+ Workaround:
+ 
+ $ sudo chown -R syslog:syslog /var/log/maas/rsyslog
  
  It seems that 3 packages are trying to set owner related /var/log/maas/*.
