I ran into this as well and verified on another system running sid that
the binary update to 1.6.10-7 is when the setuid bit is removed - it's
simply not set in the binary package, while it is in .
I'm curious as to how this happened. I not seeing anything obvious in
the source package changes [1], and when I rebuild 1.6.10-6 or 1.6.10-7
from source locally in a sid chroot, neither one of them results in a
setuid binary. In the build logs for those builds, the install-arch
target is no longer being called.
However, building 1.6.10-7 in a buster chroot does result in a setuid
binary, so it seems that a recent change in the packaging toolchain
could be the root cause (although I haven't found anything definitive
yet).
Cheers,
tony
