You appear to have installed developer packages and/or upped your
security level after the install.
Move them by editing /etc/group by hand, then use find with chgrp to fix
any files they own (OOO is old groupid, NNN is new, and I'm guessing
this syntax, try it first with echo instead of chgrp to see what happens):
find / -path /home -prune -o -group OOO -exec chgrp NNN {} \;

Good day to ask deep questions. Why is it called an afterlife, when
really it's an afterdeath? And why do people always talk about
"going into the light", who have had near-death experiences? Isn't
that rather moth-like behavior for an ex-mammal? What if that's
really some sort of spiritual bug-zapper? -- Fred Barling, Humorscope
