Alexander, The permission for /sw/fink is:
drwxr-xr-x 12 root admin 364 May 4 08:04 fink which looks good (except for the number '12' whatever that means). However, when looking into fink folder I saw a ChangeLog file. Is this the file which is mentioned in the error message? The permissions are as follows: ... drwxr-xr-x 5 foo admin 264 May 4 08:04 CVS -rw-r--r-- 1 foo admin 1252 May 4 08:04 ChangeLog -rw-r--r-- 1 foo admin 10 May 4 08:04 VERSION ... "foo" is my username which has administration rights. Apparently not all files are owned by root/admin. "foo" is the same username which is used to login CVS. Do the permissions look well (there is write-permission)? I can't think of a next step. Thanks for helping me... Peter On 2002-11-01 12:24:57 -0500 Alexander Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
[..skipped..]Do your permissions for /sw/fink look like this (from ls -l): drwxr-xr-x 15 root admin 510 Oct 17 12:27 fink ? Make sure you aren't missing write permission.
