Re: chown(2) vs lchown(2) and application breakage

[Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@datasync.com>]

Hi,

	I may be missing something basic, but this seems to imply that
 dpkg breaks on newer kernels; but (for i386 at least) the breakage
 was for a few 2.1.8x kernels; the newer 2.1.9x and 2.1.10X kernels
 and dpkg work well together. 

	If I recall correctly (and I could be wrong here); 2.1.8x
 kernels broke POSIX semantics; and the new kernels unbroke 'em?
