Description Stephan Kulow 2008-06-03 12:37:47 UTC

tar uses the user names of the instsys and this causes a problem with several users and groups when they have a different uid than the instsys passwd.

rpm -V PolicyKit or rpm -V avahi show problems then. The fix is to use --numeric-owner while deploying.

Comment 1 Lukas Ocilka 2008-06-03 13:14:37 UTC

- Always use --numeric-owner (always use numbers for user/group
  names) when deploying images (bnc #396689).
- yast2-installation-2.16.50 (openSUSE 11.0)
- yast2-installation-2.17.0  (openSUSE 11.1)

meanwhile I've looked closer to the issue. The numeric-owner option alone doesn't help against the group problem. The common_tree program also lacks a check for gid changes. It only compares user ids.

yeah, it's perl ;(
