-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Package: dpkg Version: 1.16.8 Severity: wishlist
It would be very nice if dpkg could manage system users and groups created for each package. At the moment I've got GID 105 for dbus on host A, while 105 is used for saned on host B (just as an example). This is a severe problem when A's root partition is visible somehow on B, e.g. on a central backup server, or on an LXC server managing the client rootfs in its own name space. I would like to tell dpkg to use GID 105 for the dbus package on all systems. If there is a conflict with an existing entry in /etc/passwd or /etc/group, then it should refuse to install. Do you think this could be done?
