No need to create a bug report since I've just committed your patch in SVN trunk.
Thanks!

This is occurring while the packager resolver is attempting to delete the temporary build directory it uses. However, the bug can only occur (according to the Javadocs) if an I/O error has occurred while attempting to delete some file(s). This probably includes problems like wrong permissions, etc., so you might investigate what might prevent ivy from being allowed to delete files. The attached patch should fix the exception (but not the underlying problem). If you have a chance please file a bug and reference this patch. -Archie On Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 12:10 PM, Jonathan Williams <spamhammer1...@gmail.com> wrote: I recently started using a package resolver for some of my project's >dependencies.
