Hi, it's not in the package itself, it's in the included download script: /usr/sbin/gmt-coastline-download
""" echo $GET_HIGH && $GET_HIGH && tar xojvf $TMPDIR/GSHHS_high.tar.bz2 -C $SHARE_DIR/coast --strip 2 share/coast echo $GET_FULL && $GET_FULL && tar xojvf $TMPDIR/GSHHS_full.tar.bz2 -C $SHARE_DIR/coast --strip 2 share/coast """ when tar is run as root it restores the UID,GID that were in the tarball packager's system. adding "--no-same-owner" to the tar command might help, but I'm not sure if that gets the GID too. the included "-o" flag should do that, but it no longer appears in the Debian tar man page so maybe it went away? It is listed in "Compatibility options" with "tar --help". Maybe -o not working is the real bug there. (you can see it listed in the FreeBSD man page, http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tar) Hamish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
