I have found in the /home/debian folder and in the /etc tree a couple of files that have a UID of 110 and GID of 116.
Notably /home/debian/.npmrc
/etc/passwd doesn’t contain a user with that UID and /etc/group doesn’t have the GID listed.
Who are they supposed to be?
as root user we install a few packages via "npm install xyz"
It's one of the worst package systems i've seen, doing random things to all
over the rootfs..
Regards,
I must agree with you that npm is not the ideal packagemanager. 
There also seems to be pip installed for Python packages…
Is there a remote possibility that those packages would ever be offered via apt-get ?
Problem is that even as the root user some things (I forget which) didn’t work off the bat because of those broken ownerships. I ended up chowning them to root:root (for files in /etc/) and debian:debian for files in /home/debian.

i wish... cloud9 ide has to be installed via npm, then they broke some of
the npm packaging, so you have install some npm dependices on target,
before you can run the "standalone" package...

Well that's broken, so we can drop /home/debian/.npmrc

those should all be root:root

This should fix the rest, please let me know if you find more:

Thanks! Much appreciated.
Yep those are the ones I seem to recall. Changed them to root:root.
