Package: couchdb Version: 0.11.0-2.1 Severity: serious The chmod -R 0770 /etc/couchdb is just plain wrong in the postinst.
The only file that needs to be read protected is local.ini because it might contain a password. The other files should be 664. Directories should be 775. Please drop this chmod call in the postinst and provide correct dependencies in the package itself. You are resetting any permission that the admin might have set on any file... (Or at least change the permission only on the initial installation.) Furthermore, those needlessly restrictive permissions break desktopcouch.
