221 Untaring the libreoffice-core-3.5.2.2 tarball as
222 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> has the curious effect of
223 changing the ownership of the <emphasis>parent</emphasis> directory
224 to a user with numerical id 11012 and with the permissions set to allow
225 read, write and execute for that user only! If you untared as
226 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> in your home folder you
227 could end up unable to log in again :/ If you untared it in
228 <filename class="directory">/usr</filename> you would find your user
229 account unable to access any file in
230 <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>.

239 untar as a user but has to be passed as an option when untaring as
