[yocto] wic create - bad ownership of directories inside image

[Behnke, Jochen]

Hello Randy,

thanks for your reponse and sorry for my late reaction.

In order to test, if the problem can be reproduced reliably, I performed a clean rebuild as follows

$ source oe-init-build-env build-tca5-32
$ rm -rf tmp
$ rm -rf sstate-cache
$ bitbake core-image-minimal
$ wic create mkefidisk -e core-image-minmal

I then mounted the resulting image file "mkefidisk-201908221701-sda.direct" using a loopback device (losetup)
Inside the Image all directories have UID/GID 1000/1000, which corresponds to my host user.
Files however have UID/GID 0/0.

So the answer to your question is "yes I can reproduce the behavior".

One sidenote
- I am using an appended core-image-minimal not the default
- In my other image I am using qt5 (v5.12)



Regards
Jochen

Hi Jochen,

No and I've never seen this particular extreme symptom.

There is a known, generally rare bug:
    Bug 12434 - pseudo: Incorrect UID/GID in packaged files
    https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12434
but that usually shows up when building.

You could check you build logs for the generic stings from:

    glibc-locale-2.26: glibc-locale:
    /glibc-binary-localedata-en-gb/usr/lib/locale/en_GB/LC_MEASUREMENT
    is owned by uid 3004, which is the same as the user running bitbake.
    This may be due to host contamination [host-user-contaminated]


Is your issue 100% reproducible?
