No one will ever be able to explain this for you because as usual you do
not show us the exact commands you typed and the exact results you got
from that.

Two main possibilities here:

a) An update to Debian caused the fundamental basics of filesystem
   permissions to suddenly break down and ruin your day, or;

b) You were confused and typed the wrong thing.

Which do you think is more likely?

Very few people will spend their time trying to debug this when you
don't show us what you did. Of those who do there will only be an
extremely long-winded and frustrating thread ahead for them until you
provide the most basic thing that is as usual missing in your posts:
verbatim logs of what you did and what the results were, not your
idiosyncratic narrative.

I am guessing you did not record what you did, so it's now lost to
history and you will continue in the belief that you encountered some
huge bug in Debian that you have heroically overcome by unclear means.
If it's there I'd love to see it, and see it fixed, but realistically it
is not there.

Thanks,
Andy
