[Bug 1302044] [NEW] permissions on /var/lib/glance/image* are wrong

[Chris Ricker]

Public bug reported:

/var/lib/glance/images and /var/lib/glance/image-cache need to be owned
glance:glance

The current packaging leaves them as this after the postinst:

ls -l /var/lib/glance/
total 52
-rw-r--r-- 1 glance glance 37888 Apr  3 14:30 glance.sqlite
drwxr-xr-x 5 root   root    4096 Apr  3 14:30 image-cache
drwxr-xr-x 2 root   root    4096 Apr  3 14:06 images

which causes the glance service to fail when using local filestores:

image-cache error:
