    It probably should be owned by user root, group root?
    We run checks for legal owners/groups, so I got an error after the latest upgrade.

    I can confirm there is an issue with the security update:
    dpkg --contents libpng2-dev_1.0.12-3.woody.7_i386.deb
    drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2004-08-04 05:34:03 ./
    [snip]
    drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2004-08-04 05:34:03 ./usr/share/doc/libpng2/ -rw-r--r-- / 37454 2001-06-08 21:21:24 ./usr/share/doc/libpng2/libpng.txt.gz

    Notice the absence of owner and group. Oddly, dpkg, extracts that as 620/96: -rw-r--r-- 1 620 96 37K 2001-06-08 21:21 libpng.txt.gz

    Can anyone take care of this?

    What's serious in the fact that a compressed text file is not owned by root
    but by a non-existing user?

    Regards,
