Problem: siegfried - %defattr directive doesn't work as expected #151

When installing archivematica-mcp-client with yum under CentOS 7, archivematica-mcp-client pulls in the siegfried package defined here. As this occurs, I'm presented with the following warning messages:

  Installing : siegfried-1.7.6-1.el7.centos.x86_64                                                    115/177

  Installing : pcre-devel-8.32-17.el7.x86_64

This can be traced back to the %defattr directive on line 33 of the specfile. According to the RPM docs here:

The user and group identifiers must be non-numeric.

If there's a specific user/group that /usr/share/siegfried should belong to, you should use the plain text name apparently. Otherwise, it'll try to change ownership to a user with the string literal '1000' for a name.

(Not tagging this for phase 1 since it's only a warning and thus far, I have not noticed any ill effects that would prevent an end-user from processing data)

In order to get this installed in current 1.7.x systems, we need to change the Release number in the package.spec., so the new package version will be 1.7.6-2. Can you do it?
