I have only seen this in the (by now quite old) gnu-20000301.tar.gz file: - -rwxr-xr-x root/root 184 Dec 03 18:24 1999 gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/ae.prerm - -rw-r--r-- root/marcus 96 Feb 10 15:16 2000 gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.conffiles - -rw-r--r-- root/root 1116 Feb 28 13:51 2000 gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.list - -rwxr-xr-x root/marcus 549 Feb 10 15:16 2000 gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.preinst - -rwxr-xr-x root/marcus 2872 Feb 10 15:16 2000 gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.postinst - -rwxr-xr-x root/marcus 129 Feb 10 15:16 2000 gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.prerm - -rwxr-xr-x root/root 53 Nov 05 14:08 1999 gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-passwd.preinst - -rw-r--r-- root/root 376 Feb 28 13:50 2000 gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-passwd.list - -rwxr-xr-x root/root 1442 Nov 29 17:56 1999 gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-passwd.postinst And it seems that gid(marcus) is 1000. ;-) In the current gnu-20000913.tar.gz file, there's no trace of this. There are only uid root and gid's staff, users, src etc. I don't think there's a reason to update the current tar file...
