I just experienced this on Maverick 10.10 (after upgrades from previous releases).
However when I did sudo apt-get purge ntop sudo apt-get install ntop There was no problems. The purge command removed /var/lib/ntop. So the install after that did not run into directory-exists problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138682 Title: ntop permissions are not set right during install -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
