[Piuparts-devel] Bug#573904: piuparts depends on a correct umask to build piupart-depends-dummy

[Thomas Preud'homme]

Package: piuparts
Version: 0.38
Severity: normal

When building piuparts-depends-dummy, piuparts create files with permission
depending on current umask. This causes piuparts-depends-dummy to fail
building with a umask of 027 with the error:

4m59.8s DEBUG: Starting command: ['dpkg-deb', '-b', '/tmp/tmpxqYpQK/piuparts-depends-dummy']
4m59.8s DUMP:
dpkg-deb: control directory has bad permissions 750 (must be >=0755 and <=0775)
dpkg-deb: building package `piuparts-depends-dummy' in `/tmp/tmpxqYpQK/piuparts-depends-dummy.deb'.
4m59.8s ERROR: Command failed (status=2): ['dpkg-deb', '-b', '/tmp/tmpxqYpQK/piuparts-depends-dummy']
dpkg-deb: control directory has bad permissions 750 (must be >=0755 and <=0775)
dpkg-deb: building package `piuparts-depends-dummy' in `/tmp/tmpxqYpQK/piuparts-depends-dummy.deb'.

I think, without being sure, that setting correct permission for the control
file created line 441 of piuparts.py would suffice to eliminate the bug.
