Another issue:

'apt' is not a source dir, but 'apt/cache' and 'apt/lists' are. Also, no
exception was added for (the incorrect) 'apt' in the "persistent
directories have safe access rights" step (like was done for
'nm-system-connections' and 'cups').

I think I cleaned this up quite a bit in commit a59e28a, and
future-proofed it for new persistent non-amnesia-user directories. At

I do not get this. @vm.execute runs the command as root by default, so
the owner stuff seems unnecessary.

Next (and I think this is unrealted to this branch) in "Scenario:
Upgrading an old Tails USB installation from an ISO image, running on
the old version" I get:

    Then Tails is installed on USB drive "to_upgrade"
                          # features/step_definitions/usb.rb:163
      USB drive 'to_upgrade' has differences in /live:
      Files /lib/live/mount/medium/live/filesystem.packages and
/mnt/new/live/filesystem.packages differ
      Files /lib/live/mount/medium/live/filesystem.squashfs and
/mnt/new/live/filesystem.squashfs differ
      Files /lib/live/mount/medium/live/initrd.img and
/mnt/new/live/initrd.img differ
      Files /lib/live/mount/medium/live/initrd2.img and
/mnt/new/live/initrd2.img differ


I'll get back to this.

With the current state of bugfix/7443-persistent-files-permission, all
tests are green except the above one, if I run with the following
uncommitted fix:

--- a/features/usb_install.feature
+++ b/features/usb_install.feature
@@ -160,7 +160,6 @@ Scenario: Writing files to a read/write-enabled
persistent partition with the old Tails USB installation
     And I write some files expected to persist
     And persistent filesystems have safe access rights
     And persistence configuration files have safe access rights
-    And persistent directories have safe access rights
     And I shutdown Tails and wait for the computer to power off
     Then only the expected files should persist on USB drive "old"


since my --old-iso doesn't have the permission fix, that step will
otherwise fail. Let's just ignore that.

Cheers!
