Hi All, After a mammoth session on an old machine, which crashed, I ended up with these files that refuse to be deleted: =============================================================== # ls -la /var/tmp/portage/app-office/openoffice-2.3.0/work/ooo/build/OOG680_m5/lingucomponent/unxlngi6.pro/misc/ ls: cannot access /var/tmp/portage/app-office/openoffice-2.3.0/work/ooo/build/OOG680_m5/lingucomponent/unxlngi6.pro/misc/hyphen.libhyphen680li_1.cmd: Permission denied ls: cannot access /var/tmp/portage/app-office/openoffice-2.3.0/work/ooo/build/OOG680_m5/lingucomponent/unxlngi6.pro/misc/hyphen_dflt_version.c: Permission denied ls: cannot access /var/tmp/portage/app-office/openoffice-2.3.0/work/ooo/build/OOG680_m5/lingucomponent/unxlngi6.pro/misc/guesslang_dflt_version.c: Permission denied ls: cannot access /var/tmp/portage/app-office/openoffice-2.3.0/work/ooo/build/OOG680_m5/lingucomponent/unxlngi6.pro/misc/hyphen680li.def: Permission denied ls: cannot access /var/tmp/portage/app-office/openoffice-2.3.0/work/ooo/build/OOG680_m5/lingucomponent/unxlngi6.pro/misc/libmythes.cmd: Permission denied ls: cannot access /var/tmp/portage/app-office/openoffice-2.3.0/work/ooo/build/OOG680_m5/lingucomponent/unxlngi6.pro/misc/hyphen_hyphen680li.map: Permission denied total 0 drwxr-xr-- 2 portage portage 280 Oct 28 09:38 . drwxr-xr-- 4 portage portage 96 Oct 28 09:38 .. ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? guesslang_dflt_version.c ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? hyphen.libhyphen680li_1.cmd ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? hyphen680li.def ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? hyphen_dflt_version.c ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? hyphen_hyphen680li.map ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? libmythes.cmd ===============================================================
(the "?" symbols are shown like this on my terminal too). I am about to start a new emerge of OOo, but would think that I should first remove this mess just to be sure. How do I do that? Tried chmod and chown. The files are owned by portage:portage, but chmod-ing them fails. -- Regards, Mick
