Re: emacs won't install if /usr/local is read-only

I don't see any need to post that restriction on dpkg. dpkg is just a Uhh, it's not a *restriction on dpkg*. It's an *extension* to dpkg to make it more aware of a site's policy. We've already got a policy that says packages (ie. those part of debian; what you do with your own is up to you)

what needs a review are the outstanding inconsistencies between dpkg and the policy guide. (The guide should of course win :-) I understand Klee has put some effort into this though probably hasn't gotten around to this particular one; the simple approach is for the installer to tell dpkg

Re: emacs won't install if /usr/local is read-only

My /usr/local mounted read-only when I install emacs. The package keep complaining about /usr/local is mounted read-only. packages are not allowed to store files into /usr/local. However, the emacs package is installing only directories: $ dpkg -L emacs|grep local /usr/local
