Closed issue by TeusLollo on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/44231

Description:
### Is this a new report?

Yes

### System Info

Void 5.15.114_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate FFFFFF

### Package(s) Affected

wireplumber-0.4.14_5 & wireplumber-0.4.14_6

### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

Can't find anything.

### Expected behaviour

No idea actually. I don't use pipewire. What does that directory do? See below...

### Actual behaviour

Something funky going on with the `make_dirs` part of the latest wireplumber packages during their relevant _config_ phase.

Here's the relevant output:

```
wireplumber-0.4.14_5: configuring ...
chown: invalid user: ‘_pipewire:_pipewire’
Failed to set perms 0755 _pipewire:_pipewire to ./var/lib/wireplumber!
Updating MIME database...
wireplumber-0.4.14_5: updated successfully.
```

This has also happened again onto the newest version:

```
wireplumber-0.4.14_6: configuring ...
chown: invalid user: ‘_pipewire:_pipewire’
Failed to set perms 0755 _pipewire:_pipewire to ./var/lib/wireplumber!
Updating MIME database...
wireplumber-0.4.14_6: updated successfully.
```

Indeed, by reading the relevant package template on https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/wireplumber/template, the string `make_dirs="/var/lib/wireplumber 0755 _pipewire _pipewire"` seems relevant. 

No idea about this. Output of `ls` on the directory:

```
ls -a /var/lib/wireplumber
.  ..
```

This may be related to the fact that I don't really have pipewire installed (Nor it ever was installed), since I'm on pure ALSA. Wireplumber has been pulled by the following dependencies:

```
xbps-query --revdeps wireplumber
Waybar-0.9.17_1
```




### Steps to reproduce

1. You probably need a system that has not pipewire installed, thus having wireplumber pulled down by a dependency (By waybar, in my case)
2. Update to either wireplumber-0.4.14_5 & wireplumber-0.4.14_6 and see the output for yourself.
