[Bug 1402657] Re: etckeeper doesn't commit. Missing executable permissions on /etc/etckeeper/commit.d/50vcs-commit

[Sebastien Bacher]

Uploaded the permission fix to vivid and utopic

** Description changed:

+ * Impact:
+ the command fails to run on incorrect permission issue
+ 
+ * Test case
+ see "To reproduce the problem" section of the description
+ 
+ * Regression potential
+ that only changing permission of one file, just test that the command works

  Etckeeper doesn't work out of the box on Ubuntu 14.10
  
  The command etckeeper commit fails without any output.
  
  The problem is that the script 50vcs-commit doesn't have execution
  permissions.
  
  Noticed in etckeeper at ubuntu 14.10

- The root cause is that 50vcs-commit never gets executed because it lacks permissions:
