Package: aide
Version: 0.17.3-2

Hello.

file /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_sudo has mode 755 in version 0.16, but mode 
644 in version 0.17

that's fine in and of itself, as the contents of the file have changed.

a clean install of 0.16 works fine.
a clean install of 0.17 works fine too.


if you upgrade from 0.16 to 0.17, the upgrade process installs the new version 
of 31_aide_sudo but does *not* update the mode bits.
You end up with the new version of the file, but it has mode 755.  This causes 
aide to error out.


easy fix is to chmod 644 /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_sudo post-upgrade, but 
ideally the installer should take care of that.

it looks like the postinst script already does this for 31_aide_smokeping; I'd 
suggest the same for 31_aide_sudo
