Description Enrico Scholz 2003-06-19 19:22:50 UTC 
Description of problem:

When having a package with a suid'ed binary which is owned by an
unknown user, rpm fails with a wrong and misleading message:

 ,---------------
| $ rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/test2-0.1-1.i386.rpm
| Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
| warning: user vcsaX does not exist - using root
|    1:test2                  ########################################### [100%]
| error: rpmdbAdd: skipping h#    5339 Header SHA1 digest: BAD Expected(5a3206989503b8b31bc89b05bfa1a220d9c48aee) != (84eabfc3b0c91606bccf9cf854259f07ee12f510)

This error confuses the rpm-db also:

| $ rpm -q test2
| $


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rpm-4.2-0.69
rpm-4.2.1-0.11
