[SOLVED] Clarify - directory ownership differs during sysmd upgrade

onslow77 · 2015-02-19 15:45:18

Hello,

I get the warning (see below) - and I am wondering if I understand it correctly that I do not need to do anything about this warning?

warning: directory ownership differs on /var/log/journal/remote/
filesystem: 0:998  package: 0:0

It is the same warning discussed in this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=193782, and since it is solved,
and the bug report here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/43852 also does not give me a conclusive answer, I opened this one.

Regards
Martin

Hello,

I tried to solve this by doing:

1. Checking the systemd package

pacman -Qkk systemd
warning: systemd: /var/log/journal/remote (GID mismatch)

2. Change the "/var/log/journal/remote" to the root group and user

# chown root:root /var/log/journal/remote/

3. Checking the systemd package again

pacman -Qkk systemd
systemd: 1003 total files, 0 altered files

4. Seems correct, so I rebuild my initramfs and reboot (hoping this will keep the above chown edit)

# mkinitcpio -p linux
# reboot

Checking the systemd package again

pacman -Qkk systemd
warning: systemd: /var/log/journal/remote (GID mismatch)

So after my reboot I am back where I started - and I do not get it, what am I suppose to to with this warning, point me in the right direction please.

I believe upcoming pacman release 4.2.1 is going to disable these warnings https://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.g … a036e749c8

Hello,

Thank you for getting back to me anatolik. I do not see any mention of the bug FS#43852, is there any of the other corrected bugs mention in the pacman.git (I could not conclude that any of them did) that will also correct FS#43852 and take care of the warning I see for systemd?

It does not mention that bug because commit was made a week ago before the bug was created. Here is the commit https://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.g … d5eced0b7c

I have been scratching my head about this warning, so thank you "anatolik" for clearing this up: I will wait for the pacman upgrade then, and marking this as solved.
