Found another position of this BUG: /usr/share/rhn/config_common/transactions.py (122 + 136) This might be a security issue. I do not recommend switching file owner/group to root in case the user isn't present in the system. Nowadays a UserNotFound exception is raised, what I mean is a correct behavior. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 479087 *** |
