This blows up if you have to uninstall and reinstall a package, caused |
| 6 |
by blockers or whatever. Files exist that still belong to the |
| 7 |
user/group, new user/group have different ids. So either make sure the |
| 8 |
uids and gids stay the same or just leave them be. Usually you have an |
| 9 |
extra user for security reasons with minimal access rights. There is |
| 10 |
absolutely no harm in that. I would prefer this to be another eclean |
| 11 |
function or something like that, which scans passwd, shadow, group, |
| 12 |
package database and all the files and dirs for owners. |
