This PR fixes the file/dir modes in the
.deb
data tar headers. When creating directory entries based on actual on-disk directories, their modes ended up including some flags that confused graphical package manager frontends (Software Install
andgdebi
). With this PR, the mode field in the tar header only contains the permissions, because other type information is already included in other header fields.Fixes #856.
