Disregard the user and group ownership. The binaries will install successfully, provided they are run as a root user.

Environment

OS: Linux
OS Version: All Linux

Cause

Cause type:
By design
Root Cause: This user/group combination is the one which was used to package the Univiewer Management Server installation binaries. When extracting the files from the archive, by default the "preserve-permissions" option is set. This is expected behavior.

Resolution

Extract the files from the archive using the '-o' modifier. This will ensure that the system does not attempt to restore ownership when extracting. The ownership will be that of the user performing the extraction.

Ex:
tar -oxvzf univiewer_console_3.0.15_all_unix.taz

Fix Status: No Fix
