Hi,

I'm glad that it is not affecting you. Jeyzu and I both seem to have hit
this issue (and I guess zmike too as described earlier).
Some times after a "sudo ninja install" I can no longer "ninja" due to
permissions issues with files that have become root owned.

It is unfortunate but it would be good to get a solution that works all the
time for everyone if possible.

Andy
