Bug#333351: asterisk: Log files owned by root

[Rolf Leggewie]

Package: asterisk
Version: 1:1.0.7.dfsg.1-2
Severity: important

Dear VoIP Team,

thank you for packaging asterisk.

Maybe I made a mistake but today I tried to install asterisk on one of 
my computers.  Asterisk failed to start so I enabled verbose debugging 
in /etc/default/asterisk.  The reason for the failure seems to be that 
asterisk cannot open /var/log/asterisk/messages for writing since it is 
owned by root as are event_log and queue_log.  I cannot remember 
changing those files so I assume they were created by the package with 
that ownership.  Maybe you want to take a look.

Regards

Rolf
