dh_fixperms - fix permissions of files in package build directories

Author

       Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>

13.24.1ubuntu2                                     2025-02-11                                     DH_FIXPERMS(1)

Description

dh_fixperms is a debhelper program that is responsible for setting the permissions of files and
       directories in package build directories to a sane state -- a state that complies with Debian policy.

       dh_fixperms makes all files in usr/share/doc in the package build directory (excluding files in the
       examples/ directory) be mode 644. It also changes the permissions of all man pages to mode 644. It
       removes group and other write permission from all files. It removes execute permissions from any
       libraries, headers, Perl modules, or desktop files that have it set. It makes all files in the standard
       bin and sbin directories, usr/games/ and etc/init.d executable (since v4). Finally, it removes the setuid
       and setgid bits from all files in the package.

       When the Rules-Requires-Root field has the (effective) value of binary-targets, dh_fixperms will also
       reset the ownership of all paths to "root:root".
