Oh, and i'll just duplicate the issue here for Matthew / the Racket side since
it could just be racket related:
The errors i ran into are when using a custom PLTCONFIGDIR with this
config.rktd:
---
#hash((build-stamp . "")
(catalogs
.
("https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/8.1/catalog/"; #f))
(default-scope . "installation")
(doc-dir . "/opt/Racket/Packages/8.1/doc")
(doc-search-dirs . (#f "/opt/Racket/Racket 8.1/doc"))
(doc-search-url
.
"https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/8.1/doc/local-redirect/index.html";)
(links-file . "/opt/Racket/Packages/8.1/links.rktd")
(links-search-files . (#f "/opt/Racket/Racket 8.1/share/links.rktd"))
(pkgs-dir . "/opt/Racket/Packages/8.1/pkgs")
(pkgs-search-dirs . (#f "/opt/Racket/Racket 8.1/share/pkgs")))
---
The files that `raco pkg install` as an unprivileged user ends up trying to
delete are:
open-output-file: error deleting file
path: /opt/Racket/Racket 8.1/share/shares.rktd
system error: Permission denied; errno=13
open-output-file: error deleting file
path: /opt/Racket/Racket 8.1/lib/launchers.rktd
system error: Permission denied; errno=13
Is this expected behavior?
