Package: fuse-utils Version: 2.2.1-3 Severity: normal Once again, I'm not sure if I get this right (i.e. whether it's a bug or me being stupid), but it doesn't seem like appropriate behavior, so...
A couple of days ago, I wanted to use GMailFS. Amongst the packages needed was 'fuse-utils', which asked me for a group to assign the privilege of running 'fusermount' to. The default choice was "fuse", but I changed that to "adm". Maybe that wasn't a very good choice, but I don't think that should make a difference. The problem is, when I purged the package today, I noticed it just removed the "adm" group too, considering it a part, I assume, of it's configuration that was to be purged. It makes sense when a new group was created for the purpose, but in this case -- and in any similar case where someone fills in an already existing group -- I don't think it should've done that without even asking. I might as well have overlooked it removing the group, and been left wondering about the "drwxrwxr-x root 4" ownerships that were all over my system afterwards...
