Subject: appropiate chown syntax versus kdesud
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-core-devel&m=100270167032267

Uh.  Yeah.  Does a colon work for other chown's out there?  As it stands
-current (and possibly later releases of -stable) don't support user.group
formats, instead they require user:group (since . is technically valid in
a username).

I'm thinking this diff would be appropiate:
