[Koha] Duplicate book entry in staff interface

[Magnus Enger]

Hi!

You have to run koha-rebuild-zebra with sudo. It should not mess with 
permissions. (koha-rebuild-zebra runs another job i nthe background, and 
if I remember correctly, running *that* job as sudo might mess with 
permissions.)

Your problem with duplicate records sounds like something that will be 
fixed by a full reindex.

Best regards,
Magnus
