It might, or it might not. It depends on how sudo is configured.
Alternative suggestions for fixing the various issues that exist here:
1) Don't use tar.
2) Use tar --no-same-owner (if tar doesn't have this option, then it
won't have the issue that chown seeks to fix).
3) Only run chown if UID = 0, and use chown root:root rather than the
current installuser logic, which seems broken (I notice now that most of
my emacs installations in /usr/local/share are owned by my user account
instead of root).
