aptitude chose to remove it (instead of upgrading), presumably because otherwise some packages would have been broken. I then selected the calendar and manual modules only, missing the core package. As it is with the testing release, the initial breakage may have been caused by who knows what. > Anyway, all this rant may not have been the cause for the rights problem > with the sessions directory... > > I was just puzzled by the status of the package in your report. > > I'll try and investigate the rights problem and see what's the real > cause. Thanks! Also thanks for your previous email, explaining things. I dug around in my system and found an aptitude log: Aptitude 0.4.10: log report Mon, Apr 14 2008 10:18:30 +0200 IMPORTANT: this log only lists intended actions; actions which fail due to dpkg problems may not be completed.

I'm not entirely fluent with aptitude's dependency stuff, but what might have happened is this: 1. Once upon a time, I decided to install phpgroupware-calendar (among some other modules, but for simplicity let's pretend it's only the calendar). 2. aptitude resolved the dependencies and selected the phpgroupware package for installation, marking it "automatic." 3. Then April 14th came: I pressed "u", then "U" for complete system upgrade and a lot of phpgroupware dependencies were broken, so aptitude decided to select calendar for removal in order to preserve an unbroken system state. 4. Seeing that all installed packages which depend on phpgroupware were selected for removal, aptitude also selected phpgroupware for removal because it was marked "automatic". 5. Me, seeing phpgroupware is about to be removed, selects phpgroupware-0.9.16-calendar. However, phpgroupware-0.9.16 is not selected, as it's not in the dependency list (this is what's not intended in this situation, but difficult to fix, right?). How, in this situation, it came to be that the permissions were broken, I cannot tell. I hope this info helps you a little anyway.
