Ok, we will hold off on releasing 2.2.0.11 until I hear back from you Alex.
Alan, I don't see that same file ownership problem on our test installs.
I looked through the debug log you sent me, but I don't see any error
messages that indicate a problem with changing the ownership of those
files. I can see that the top level directory is properly owned by
root, so everything else underneath that directory is owned by 8850? Is
this happening for any other packages?
