Re: Having problems with my (newly created) debian package

[Jeremy Higgs <jhiggs@iprsystems.com>]

Ok, thanks, people, for your help.

The deb package seems to be fixed in terms of the firewall init.d 
script and it's removal and install behaviour, but I can't seem to 
get file permissions working!

I have the following lines in my debian/rules file:

...

install: build
        dh_testdir
        dh_testroot
        dh_clean -k
        dh_installdirs

        install --mode=700 --owner=root rc.firewall debian/rcf/usr/sbin

...

---

I have read the install manual page, which is where I found the 
--mode and --owner options, but they don't seem to be working, as I 
still get this when I install the debian package (it runs the 
firewall init.d script afterwards):

Performing Security Checks...

The owners and/or permissions for /usr/sbin/rc.firewall are incorrect.
Please execute the following commands:
        chmod 0700 /usr/sbin/rc.firewall
        chown root:root /usr/sbin/rc.firewall

These problems must be addressed before running rc.firewall again.

---

Can anyone give some advice as to why this might not be working?

Thanks
