I'm in the process of moving from Ubuntu to Debian. I've installed squeeze and want to restore some of 2 users home files and directories from a backup made in Ubuntu. There are also some files from /etc needed to be restored.
I preserved the user names for both of users in a new squeeze installation but UID and GID are different. So, by simply using 'cp - a' (or rsync) I would run into problem of their mismatch. Is there a simple and quick way to resolve it or I'll have to go trough this mess manually one step at a time? I know I could change UID and GID in Debian to Ubuntu values but I am quite reluctant to go this way.
