Package: debianutils
Version: 4.3.2
Problem description: As the manual for run-parts describes, it sets the
umask to 022 unless specified otherwise. IMHO this violates the
principle of least surprise: I would (did) not expect any tool to fiddle
with the umask (or any other environment stuff) unless required for it's
operation, or explicitly requested by the user.
Workaround: For the meantime, use `run-parts --umask="$(umask)" ...`.
Suggested fix: By default, run-parts should not change the umask. The
user may still use -u022 to get the original behaviour.
System information:

Thanks!
