Hey Boyd,
With regards to: Perhaps you are installing your template with
permissions that are too restrictive
You're totally right! This was causing my script to fail, thanks very
much for pointing it out, everything is working perfectly now :)
Now I've familiarized myself with the wiki on chmod
Hey mentors,
Firstly, thanks for all the help so far.
I like the idea of having a default copy of the file used by my
program, as suggested by Lars and PJ, so I've altered my source code
to use a default file and allow multiple users to have their own
copies of this file in their

Thanks very much Lars,
That's massively helpful, it clarifies a lot of stuff, I reckon I
should be able to get this package working properly now, phew! - I

few attempts, but I wasn't quite ready for this!
Regards.

That's wrong. Most of /usr/share should be world-readable. Perhaps you are
installing your template with permissions that are too restrictive. I believe
/usr/share files
Check your filesystem paths carefully; unless I totally misunderstand
some bizarre aspect of Python syntax, you're trying to open
usr/share/doc/gtk-link-lizard/links.txt relative to whatever the
code thinks the current directory is, not the absolute path
/usr/share/doc/gtk-link-lizard/links.txt.

Hi,
Got my Debian packages almost fully working now, everything
installs/uninstalls without error.
However, when I try to run the newly installed program it wont work
properly as it lacks permission to save to file.

Cheers Lars,
I'm looking at installing the links.txt file to
~/.packagename/links.txt, but I don't seem to be able to use the
~wildcard.
Using this line in my makefile:
DEST3 = $(CURDIR)/debian/gtk-link-lizard/~/.gtk-link-lizard
It just creates a directory called ~ on the destination drive? It

Cheers PJ and Boyd,
To be honest I never thought about having multiple users, just
learning about the packaging process and I'm experimenting with what I
can do. But I guess it's a much better idea to have a template and a
copy for each user, will have to add it to the source.
Thanks for the
