Hi Jochen,

No and I've never seen this particular extreme symptom.

There is a known, generally rare bug:
    Bug 12434 - pseudo: Incorrect UID/GID in packaged files
    https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12434
but that usually shows up when building.

You could check you build logs for the generic stings from:

    glibc-locale-2.26: glibc-locale:
    /glibc-binary-localedata-en-gb/usr/lib/locale/en_GB/LC_MEASUREMENT
    is owned by uid 3004, which is the same as the user running bitbake.
    This may be due to host contamination [host-user-contaminated]


Is your issue 100% reproducible?
