Bug#310964: "/usr/bin/fusermount did not get installed setuid root ..."

[Max Kellermann]

This bug is still present in version 2.4.0-1.

It happens when the group "fuse" already exists prior to the
installation of the package fuse-utils.

/var/lib/dpkg/info/fuse-utils.config

      if getent group $NEWGROUP >/dev/null; then
        db_set fuse-utils/groupcreate false || true
        STATE=$STATE_END
        continue
      fi

this forces fuse-utils/groupcreate to "false" when the group "fuse"
already exists.

/var/lib/dpkg/info/fuse-utils.postinst

    db_get fuse-utils/groupcreate || true
    if [[ $RET = true ]]; then
      # ...
      dpkg-statoverride --force --update --add root $NEWGROUP 4755 \
          /usr/bin/fusermount || true
    fi

.. should probably replaced with something like:

    if getent group $NEWGROUP >/dev/null; then
      dpkg-statoverride --force --update --add root $NEWGROUP 4755 \
          /usr/bin/fusermount || true
    fi
