They're not invalid, just undefined on your system. It is the uid/gid of the person who created the package on the system on which it was created.
The reason you get it is that you used the "p" flag to tar. "p" means "preserve permissions". If you use the normal tar xvzf you'd get all files owned by you.
Note that this will only occur if you do the tar extraction under the root account - a normal user does not have sufficiently privilege to set file UID/GID. Phil -- Philip Amadeo Saeli SuSE 7.3 psaeli@zorodyne.com
