Bug#288279: kernel-patch-debian-2.4.27: patches are 600 instead of 644
Package: kernel-patch-debian-2.4.27
Version: 2.4.27-7
Severity: important
The debian kernel patches are installed with permissions 600 instead of
644 making it impossible for a normal user to use the patches and most
people do not compile their kernels as root. Since the patch files had
the correct permissions in 2.4.27-5 and the change occurred in 2.4.27-6
without mention in the changelog I suspect it was an accidental
oversight.
