When I try to do an "emsource --verbose nano" I get:- Checking the apt-cross cache is up to date for i386. Checking unstable on i386 using apt sources Using nano as source package for nano (2.0.7) W: Unable to locate package nano-udeb Working directory: '/' Checking for existing emdebian patches Checking out working copies of existing emdebian patches svn: Can't make directory 'nano': Permission denied Checking for existing build tree in nano-2.0.7.

Looks like the problem is the permissions on the directory it wants to use for the emdebian patches, but unfortunately the error message gives no clue as to where this directory it. The directory that I am running this command in is mine so I guess that it is not trying to use the current directory, so the question is where is it trying to download the patches?
