Package: libgnomevfs2-0
Version: 2.8.3-6
Severity: normal


When copying a file with a specific group-id to a directory with the set-GID bit
set to another group, this results in a newly created file with the same group as
the original file, while you would expect it to have the same group as the directory
to which it was copied.
