# `maintainer-script-calls-chown-improperly`

`chown user.group` is called in one of the maintainer scripts. The correct syntax is `chown user:group`. Using "." as a separator is still supported by the GNU tools, but it will fail as soon as a system uses the "." in user or group names.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `maintainer-script-should-not-use-deprecated-chown-usage`
