Hmm. Well, the permissions on pkgstates look ok: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 671804 Jun 16 12:52 pkgstates I think this problem may have something to do with NFS. My home partition on this machine is NFS-mounted, and I use NIS to get user account info. When I create a test user on the NIS/NFS server, aptitude gives the same warning message for him on the client machine. So does a locally created user on the client whose home directory is on the NFS mount. But a user created locally on the client, with a home directory outside /home, does not get the warning. Do you think I should make this a bug report? If so, against what package - aptitude or some piece of NFS? package versions are: aptitude 0.2.11.1-2 (on both NFS server and client) nfs-common 1.0-2 " nfs-kernel-server 1.0-2 (on server only) kernels are: 2.4.18-686-smp on server, 2.4.18-686 on client Thanks for your comments, -- Kevin McCarty Physics Department [EMAIL PROTECTED] Princeton University www.princeton.edu/~kmccarty Princeton, NJ 08544 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
