[Bug 1313133] Re: sa-compile error on ubuntu 14.04 LTS upgrade

[Philip Clarke]

Been running, testing, re-installing and rebooting a lot of times since
my post above.

I've noted that in

/etc/cron.daily/spamassassin

there is umask 022 to updated the spam assassin rules, and consistently
"the system" will fail to install or fall over if login.defs is changed
to 027 on reboot or re-installation. Interestingly I have it now where
everything is owned but root in the spam assassin folder

ls -l spamassassin/ -a
total 60
drwxr-xr-x   4 root root  4096 Sep 26 07:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 108 root root 12288 Sep 29 07:54 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   939 Jan 28  2015 65_debian.cf
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  1289 Jan 28  2015 init.pre
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  2213 Jan 28  2015 local.cf
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   118 Jan 28  2015 sa-compile.pre
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root  4096 Sep 22 18:15 sa-update-hooks.d
drwx------   2 root root  4096 Sep 26 07:12 sa-update-keys
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  2524 Jan 28  2015 v310.pre
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  1194 Jan 28  2015 v312.pre
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  2416 Jan 28  2015 v320.pre
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  1237 Jan 28  2015 v330.pre
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  1020 Jan 28  2015 v340.pre

from a purge and install and everything works as long as /etc/login.defs
is set to 022, so it looks like the upgrade/ install problems solely
come out of an sa-compile and possibly sa-update not having a umask 022
set in the dpkg scripts with no permission checks on
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.004000 and /var/lib/spamassassin/compiled from
legacy installed (mine being owned "now" by debian-spamd).

The cron job script provides a good guide as to previous permission
issues having been identified and fixed.
