I installed package abcde with Synaptic and i got warnings:: While installing package abcde-2.3.3-0.pm.0: warning: user kosta does not exist - using root ... What is wrong, please?
Nothing bad.
RPM packages include a list of files that are installed (which is,
obviously, the primary goal of RPM packages ;)).
It also stores information about access rights, owner user and owner
group. It's just a slight bug in the package, as the files have been
stored as belonging to a user named "kosta" (who is most probably the
person who made the package ;)). When installing the package, RPM also
applies a "chown kosta" on the files, notices there's no user named
"kosta" on your system and falls back to chown'ing them to root.
It just gives you a warning that it did so.
Nothing bad, will work just fine, but a small bug in the package.
Please file a bug report to Packman => packman@links2linux.de
and it will be fixed.
cheers
