Ok, we have 3775 now.

But what do you say to this:
  PERMS=$(stat --format="%a" /var/cache/fonts)
  GROUP=$(stat --format="%G" /var/cache/fonts)
  if [ $PERMS = 3775 ] ; then
    db_set tex-common/managecache true || true
    db_set tex-common/groupname "$GROUP" || true
  else
    db_set tex-common/managecache false || true
  fi

Most people WONT have 3775, so it will always show NO as default.
Then most people will just enter (or are above low so not get asked
anyway).
So most people stay in the old scheme.
So we get many bugs?

Suggestion: Always set it to true?

Best wishes

Norbert
