Permission issues

[omeringen]

Hi,
I am not sure if this is related to mkiso changes lately or not. Unfortunately i removed old ISO files, so i am not able to compare. Gonna check my old backups created with old builds and post results probably tomorrow.

I have made two persist USB build(ext4 and f2fs), same results.
Used manual installation progress and aui-kde-linux_5_8_9-0916-x64

No extra packages are installed, just created USB from stratch and reproduce these :

1. I realized that i wasn't able to set a time zone. Everytime, first try is resulting with a permission error even with sudo. second try is successful and then some time later it becomes to UTC +0 again. Plus, changing zone on KDE system settings menu results similar error.
   I find only one post related to this but it's old: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1699598#p1699598

2. I see lots of "directory permissions differ" warning messages. You'll see a lot more warning messages when installing another packages.
