Is there a way that we can get more details about this?
For example, can we get you try running the noted transition script
(/usr/share/monkeysphere/transitions/0.23) manually as root on the
affected system?
I've only seen this happen when the filesystem being used for /var is so
close to full that root can make changes, but non-root users cannot
create files (e.g. the space left is less than the reserved blocks
specified by mkfs.ext4 -m).
If this is the case, then it's true that monkeysphere will fail to
install, but it's a matter of unavailable system resources, not a bug in
the monkeysphere package.
