dpkg-statoverride(1)                                    dpkg suite                                    dpkg-statoverride(1)

NAME
       dpkg-statoverride - override ownership and mode of files

SYNOPSIS
       dpkg-statoverride [option...] command

DESCRIPTION
       “stat  overrides” are a way to tell dpkg(1) to use a different owner or mode for a path when a package is installed
       (this applies to any filesystem object that dpkg handles, including directories, devices, etc.). This can  be  used
       to  force  programs  that  are normally setuid to be install without a setuid flag, or only executable by a certain
       group.

       dpkg-statoverride is a utility to manage the list of stat overrides. It has three basic functions: adding, removing
       and listing overrides.

COMMANDS
       --add user group mode path
              Add an override for path. path does not need to exist when this command is used; the override will be stored
              and used later.  Users and groups can be specified by their name (for example root or nobody), or  by  their
              number  by  prepending  the number with a ‘#’ (for example #0 or #65534).  The mode needs to be specified in
              octal.

              If --update is specified and path exists, it is immediately set to the new owner and mode.

       --remove path
              Remove an override for path, the status of path is left unchanged by this command.

       --list [glob-pattern]
              List all overrides. If a glob pattern is specified restrict the output to overrides which match the glob.

       --help Show the usage message and exit.

       --force-help
              Give help about the --force-thing options (since dpkg 1.19.5).

       --version
              Show the version and exit.

OPTIONS
       --admindir directory
              Set the administrative directory to directory.  This is where the statoverride file is stored.  Defaults  to
              «/var/lib/dpkg».

       --instdir directory
              Set  the  installation  directory,  which  refers  to the directory where packages get installed (since dpkg
              1.19.2).  Defaults to «/».

       --root directory
              Set the root directory  to  directory,  which  sets  the  installation  directory  to  «directory»  and  the
              administrative directory to «directory/var/lib/dpkg» (since dpkg 1.19.2).

       --force-things
       --no-force-things, --refuse-things
              Force  or refuse (no-force and refuse mean the same thing) to do some things (since dpkg 1.19.5).  things is
              a comma separated list of things specified below.  --force-help displays a message describing them.   Things
              marked with (*) are forced by default.

              Warning:  These  options  are  mostly  intended  to  be  used  by  experts  only.   Using them without fully
              understanding their effects may break your whole system.

              all: Turns on (or off) all force options.

              statoverride-add: Overwrite an existing stat override when adding it (since dpkg 1.19.5).

              statoverride-remove: Ignore a missing stat override when removing it (since dpkg 1.19.5).

              security-mac(*): Use platform-specific Mandatory Access Controls (MAC) based security when installing  files
              into the filesystem (since dpkg 1.19.5).  On Linux systems the implementation uses SELinux.

       --force
              Force  an  action,  even  if  a  sanity check would otherwise prohibit it.  This is necessary to override an
              existing override.  This option is deprecated (since dpkg 1.19.5), it is replaced by --force-all.

       --update
              Immediately try to change the path to the new owner and mode if it exists.

       --quiet
              Be less verbose about what we do.

EXIT STATUS
       0      The requested action was successfully performed.

       1      For --list, if there are no overrides or none match the supplied glob.

       2      Fatal or unrecoverable error due to invalid command-line usage, or interactions with  the  system,  such  as
              accesses to the database, memory allocations, etc.

ENVIRONMENT
       DPKG_ROOT
              If  set  and the --instdir or --root options have not been specified, it will be used as the filesystem root
              directory (since dpkg 1.19.2).

       DPKG_ADMINDIR
              If set and the --admindir or --root options have not been specified, it  will  be  used  as  the  dpkg  data
              directory.

       DPKG_FORCE
              If  set and none of the --force-... options have been specified, it will be used as the force options to use
              (since dpkg 1.19.5).

       DPKG_COLORS
              Sets the color mode (since dpkg 1.18.5).  The currently accepted values  are:  auto  (default),  always  and
              never.

FILES
       /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride
              File  which  contains  the  current  list  of  stat  overrides  of  the  system.  It  is located in the dpkg
              administration directory, along with other files important to dpkg, such as status or available.
              Note: dpkg-statoverride preserves the old copy of this file, with extension “-old”, before replacing it with
              the new one.
