Description Ernst Persson 2018-10-16 13:04:59 UTC 
The files installed on the target image by COPY_LIC_DIRS are owned by my local user that doesn't exist on target.
Looks like some missing fakeroot.
Comment 1 Ernst Persson 2018-10-16 13:10:48 UTC 
For example the file
/usr/share/common-licenses/systemd/recipeinfo
Comment 2 Ross Burton 2018-10-17 12:20:17 UTC 
Had a quick look at this: the code is using os.link to get files into the rootfs *from the deploy dir* which is why the ownership is wrong.
