debinstall #4008 impossible chmod on Release.gpg [resolved]

debinstall tries to chmod the Release.gpg file to rw-rw-r

This operation can only be performed by the owner of the file, which is a problem when different users can publish the repository (debinstall breaks)

    Actually version 2.0 has several remaining issues when used by different persons. Release 2.0.1 should fix this by using a setuid/setgid binary and umask which will remove the need to use chmod manually.
