Well, it was not exactly fixed when the changelog says it was: What was done back then is that the old recursive chown/chmod was replaced by a "find", which already greatly improved performance of makedirs. Later changes replaced the "find --exec" with "find --print0| xargs -0" which improved performance even more. However, I just changed the relevant postinst script so that it only runs cyrus-makedirs on fresh installs and when the new version is a different upstream version then the package that is upgraded. I'm not comfortable with running it more seldom than that. Regards, Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
