RPM package tries to use custom user/group
When the RPM package is installed, it seems to want to use non existing user and group.
For example, on CentOS 8:
$ dnf install dive
...
Running transaction
Preparing : 1/1
Installing : dive-0.9.2-1.x86_64 1/1
warning: user does not exist - using root
warning: group does not exist - using root
Verifying : dive-0.9.2-1.x86_64 1/1
Installed:
dive-0.9.2-1.x86_64
....
This looks to be a packaging issue from nfpm that is used to create the RPM package, it doesn't appear to be setting a user/group on the file definition in the RPM at all.
This can be seen with:
# rpm -qlvp dive_0.9.2_linux_amd64.rpm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 12406784 Feb 10 2020 /usr/local/bin/dive
It should look more like this:
# rpm -qlvp dive_0.9.2_linux_amd64.rpm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12406784 Feb 10 2020 /usr/local/bin/dive
fpm looks to support the facility to explicitly set this using --rpm-user and --rpm-group, not sure how that is provided using nfpm configuration.
Interestingly the nfpm package from the nfpm project (https://github.com/goreleaser/nfpm) doesn't have the same issue:
# rpm -qlvp nfpm_amd64.rpm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12521472 Aug 22 08:01 /usr/local/bin/nfpm
This appears to be resolved in the current version of goreleaser/nfpm as discussed here:

A rebuild of the dive RPM package using a newer version of nfpm should resolve the issue.
