Comment 22 for bug 157858

In the interest of getting this fixed, I went ahead and used the updated debdiff from Jean-Baptiste, creating an 0.13.1-8ubuntu3 version and added the fix for bug #114730 in that version. My testing shows that permissions are fixed on upgrade as well as new install. Also, /var/run/aide is created if it doesn't exist.

Chance of regression is very low for new installs. Existing installs with admins who use custom permissions will see a change in the permissions of the files in /etc. As I am not an aide user, Jean-Baptiste, can you comment further?
