Title:
  bzr whoami: unable to copy ownership from '$HOME/.bazaar' to
  '$HOME/.bazaar/bazaar.conf'

Status in Bazaar:
  Confirmed
Status in bzr package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bzr

  Having recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on one of my machines, using a
  repository created by an older version, I ran into a glitch executing
  bzr whoami:

  pang at barbarossa:/home/project/autarkse$ bzr whoami pang
  "pang" does not seem to contain an email address.  This is allowed, but not recommended.
  Unable to copy ownership from '/home/pang/.bazaar' to '/home/pang/.bazaar/bazaar.conf': IOError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/home/pang/.bazaar/bazaar.conf'.
  pang at barbarossa:/home/project/autarkse$ ls -l /home/pang/.bazaar
  -rw-r--r-- 1 pang pang  23 2010-10-16 13:23 bazaar.conf
  pang at barbarossa:/home/project/autarkse$ ls -l /home/pang/.bazaar/bazaar.conf
  -rw-r--r-- 1 pang pang 23 2010-10-16 13:23 /home/pang/.bazaar/bazaar.conf
  However, after that I was able to commit my changes without any apparent problem.
