this is because the tar file was made by a user whose UID and GID are
the same as your bdg UID and indra GID. There's nothing strange about
it. There's an option (I think) in tar to change the ownership while you
unpack it, but I don't remember it, so look at the manual pages.
To change it, just:
chown -R root.root /usr/local/comanche
