[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#730239: bash-completion: /usr/share/bash-completion directory not readable when a stricter umask is set during install

[Philippe Latulippe]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:2.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

A server I run has its global umask set to 0027 (set in login.defs), stricter
than the default.  After upgrading from Squeeze to Wheezy, the
/usr/share/bash-completion directory is neither world-readable nor
world-executable.  This breaks the package completely.  My custom umask is not
usually a problem when installing packages.

For the sake of search engines, here's the error I get when I start bash:

bash: /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion: Permission denied
