Good job finding the permission issues, thanks!

I for now added

chmod -R a+rw /opt/modrana

to the postinst script. I know this is not ideal, but I dont have a real N900 (well, yet

) so I cant just look what the default username/uid is

So, I would like to ask:

Whats the default username/uid ?
Is it always the same ?
Can it possibly be changed by the user ?
Is there some other way how to consistently set folder ownership ?

Then I can replace it by something like this:

Code:

chown -R default_user /opt/modrana
chmod -R o-rw /opt/modrana
chmod -R ug+rw /opt/modrana

I replaced the package with a new one with modified postinst, name/URL are the same.
