As long as we are still using nss-altfiles, we will have issues with dynamically allocated UIDs/GIDs from RPMs that install files in /var & /etc with those UIDs/GIDs.

Workaround that by selectively resetting the UID/GID for some folders in /var/ & /etc.

Long term fix is: https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/1599

Sorry to jump in here but I'm not sure exactly where to report. There's an rpm-ostree fedora user who reports similar UID change issues with the freshclam package, but the issue has been lingering for a while against libvirt package: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1988740

Where should I ask them to follow up to get their issue resolved? Thanks in advance

Right now it should be directed to the freshclam package to use either systemd features to set ownership on directories or tmpfiles config to do the same like: https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config/pull-request/706
