Hello,

I am preparing to migate a F35 system to new hardware and was sanity checking
the whole system. One thing I found was that there are a number of system
directories that that are not owned by the package that uses them:

/var/cache/ibus
/var/cache/PackageKit
/var/cache/cups
/var/log/anaconda
/var/lib/tpm2-tss
/var/lib/machines
/var/lib/hsqldb
/var/lib/cs
/var/lib/rpcbind
/var/lib/portables
/etc/module-build-service
/etc/default
/etc/pesign
/etc/ipa
/etc/ndctl
/etc/flatpak

Should there be a gating or other test that catches this?

I've also noticed this problem, but with old python directories
lingering after upgrades.
For example, on my upgraded-from-ages-ago Fedora 35 Workstation
machine, I still had empty directory trees for old pythons, i.e.
directory trees containing empty "package" directories and empty
__pycache__ directories in
/usr/lib{,64}/python3.{7,8,9}/site-packages/
Looks like a missing file / directory ownership problem in some python packages.

Yes, I regularly file bugzillas for packages that do that.
