This bug was fixed in the package cpio - 2.9-13ubuntu2
---------------
cpio (2.9-13ubuntu2) intrepid; urgency=low
* Make sure that HAVE_GETPWNAM, HAVE_GETGRNAM, HAVE_GETPWUID and
HAVE_GETGRGID are defined so that the real functions are used, rather
than dummy ones. Having HAVE_GETPWNAM defined makes --owner work with
user and group names again. (LP: #273259)
- Also switch lib/system.h to use HAVE_GETPWUID instead of HAVE_PWUID.
