Bug#969247: boinc-manager: New version of boinc-manager fails to start with gui_rpc_auth.cfg not readable

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Hello,

this is really strange, nothing changed in permissions... can you please try with a newer version?

Package: boinc-manager
Version: 7.16.15+dfsg.is.7.16.7+dfsg-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

  * What led up to the situation? Normal update to 7.16.15+dfsg is
7.16.10+dfsg+1. Afterwards, manager would not start with a error of
gui_rpc_auth.cfg file is unreadable -- permissions problem
  * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
    ineffective)? I went into /etc/boinc-client & found that several of the
files were owned by /root, not by boinc. Corrected them & still had a problem
with boinc-manager. I removed all boinc files & downgraded to the prior version
to get boinc to work again.
  * What was the outcome of this action? boinc-manager would not start--still
had the same error message.
  * What outcome did you expect instead? I expected boinc-manager to work
normally.
