Hi, I purged my BOINC installation, reinstalled, added a /etc/boinc-client/config.properties file containing "data_dir=/var/lib/boinc" and changed permissions in both /var/lib/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg and the actual file in /etc, and still gave me the same error. Any chance we can get the package fixed soonish in testing? Thanks for all your work :) Cheers, Marcos
