Package: whereami
Version: 0.3.34-0.3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
this is my fist bugreport for debian, so if I make some stupid mistake feel
free to tell me
but don't be mad :-)
Sometimes when calling whereami from a /etc/pm/sleep.d/ hook whereami sets the
wrong permissions
for the statefiles /var/lib/whereami/iam and iwas[.x]
This doesn't happen when calling it via sudo or logging in as root.
The perl documentation (at least as far as I can tell)
states nothing on file permissions when calling open() or rename()
so a chmod after the rename and open calls sets the correct file permissions in
all circumstances.
The included patch fixes this problem (at least for me)
Sincerely, Hannes Franke
