I dont think my chown command ran when I installed the deb file using dpkg

my postinst.ex file looks like this

Code:

#!/bin/sh

gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor
chown -R user /opt/myapp/

set -e

case "$1" in
    configure)
    ;;

    abort-upgrade|abort-remove|abort-deconfigure)
    ;;

    *)
        echo "postinst called with unknown argument \`$1'" >&2
        exit 1
    ;;
esac

exit 0

cheers
