[OE-core] dbus broken again

[Martin Jansa]

After last attempt to fix dbus there is new issue

I have talked with Richard on IRC already, but will repeat it here just
to warn other dbus users.

Updated list of available packages in /var/lib/opkg/lists/jama-om_gta02.
Upgrading dbus-1 on root from 1.4.12-r2 to 1.4.12-r7...

Note: group netdev already exists, not re-creating it
Running useradd commands...
Note: username messagebus already exists, not re-creating it
Upgrading libdbus-1-3 on root from 1.4.12-r2 to 1.4.12-r7...

SHR root at gjama / $ ll /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root 998 142748 Nov  2 10:12
/usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper

SHR root at gjama / $ ll -d /var/lib/dbus
drwxr-xr-x 2 999 998 4096 Nov  2 10:12 /var/lib/dbus

SHR root at gjama / $ grep message /etc/group
messagebus:x:101:
SHR root at gjama / $ grep message /etc/passwd
messagebus:x:42:101:Linux User,,,:/var/run/dbus:/bin/sh


and that's because useradd.bbclass is using UID/GID from sysroots
OE om-gta02 at shr ~/shr-core $ grep message tmp/sysroots/om-gta02/etc/group
messagebus:x:998:
OE om-gta02 at shr ~/shr-core $ grep message tmp/sysroots/om-gta02/etc/passwd
messagebus:!:999:998::/var/lib/dbus:

and nothing is updating /etc/passwd /etc/group IDs on target.

The possible solution would be to force specified UID/GID in
useradd.bbclass to make it consistent during rebuild from scratch or
teach useradd postinst to update UID/GIDs and chown all runtime created
files to new values instead of skiping useradd/groupadd commnads when
user already exists, like it did now:
Note: username messagebus already exists, not re-creating it
Note: group netdev already exists, not re-creating it
