Lintian tag: maintainer-script-calls-chown-improperly
Type: warning
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
chown user.group is called in one of the maintainer scripts. The correct
syntax is chown user:group. Using "." as a separator is still supported by
the GNU tools, but it will fail as soon as a system uses the "." in user
or group names.
Please refer to the chown(1) manual page for details.
