Bug#906569: boinc: Permissions missing after installation

[Harri Suutari]

Package: boinc
Version: 7.6.33+dfsg-12
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

after fresh installation of Boinc to Stretch, the BOINC Manager did not start
from the menu icon, but complained about missing permissions to /var/lib/boinc-
client/.

Problem was solved by 'chmod g+rwx /var/lib/boinc-client/" and by adding the
user to the 'boinc' group.


('boincmgr' did and does start from command line, but it cannot connect to the
client. Only starting via the menu icon works.)


Regards,
Harri
