What!? The bug report says we call it as non-root, and you tell us not to call it as root? Fact is, it is being called under fakeroot. Why is install-info forcing /var/backups/ to be written? Sounds like a load of shit, and a bug in install-info, IMO. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
