Package: apt-file Version: 2.0.6 Severity: wishlist On my system I have the system-wide umask set to 0077. If I do an apt-file purge && apt-file update, the resulting Contents.gz files end up with 0600 permissions (following the umask). Unfortunately that makes it so that I cannot run apt-file search as a non-root user because it cannot read the archive listings. It would be nice if apt-file could fix the permissions on the Contents.gz files to 0644 to work around this.
