OK, I'm at a loss here. I installed Etch, everything went fine. Now that I've booted up, when I try to install a package, I run this, for example:
apt-get install openssh-server. But I get this error (for this, and any package I try to install): dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute new pre-installation script: permission denied dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-server_1%3a4.3p2-2_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2 dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute new post-removal script: Permission denied dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2 Then of course, I can't try to install anything else, because it thinks the package is in a half-installed state, and it says to try reinstalling before uninstalling, and of course I can't install it, so I have to resort to manually editing /var/lib/dpkg/status. So....any ideas? Anything obvious I missed? I've never seen this using dpkg before. And of course, I'm running as root, so what's up with permission denied? :) Is it not setting +x on the scripts? j -- Joshua Kugler Lead System Admin -- Senior Programmer http://www.eeinternet.com PGP Key: http://pgp.mit.edu/ ID 0xDB26D7CE PO Box 80086 -- Fairbanks, AK 99708 -- Ph: 907-456-5581 Fax: 907-456-3111 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
