2011-08-08 Thread Robert Roth
@mike: The default permissions on my computers for /var/lib/dpkg were drwxr-xr-x and for /var/lib/dpkg/status it's -rw-r--r--. Can you still reproduce this problem? If not, we will close this bug because of the lack of the information required to reproduce. --- Ubuntu Bug Squad volunteer triager

I chmod the permissions on /var/lib/dpkg to rwxrwxrwx and was able to use the updater. However, I forgot to make a note of the original permissions on dpkg. Everything seems to be working great, now. If you could, would you please send me what the default permissions for dpkg should be? I'm sorry

Thanks for your bugreport. Can you please attach the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade ? This will help us diagnose the problem. Can you also please run: $ ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/status ? Do you use anything special like selinux? Thanks, Michael -- update-manager throws exception rather than runni
