Hi all, Every now and then, I use Ubuntu's prevu to backport source packages from Debian's experimental repo or Ubuntu's Ibex repo to Hardy. A few weeks ago I tried to backport the latest kernel from Ibex -- I wasn't successful. But this is not the problem. The problem is, prevu creates folders in /var/cache/prevu/[src|builds] and I can't delete the files and folder created by prevu when it attempted to backport the kernel. I get "Permission denied", even I'm trying to delete them as root. lsof doesn't show any locks or opened files. Here're a few of these errors:
rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/status': Permission denied rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/limits': Permission denied rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/sched': Permission denied rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/cmdline': Permission denied rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/stat': Permission denied rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/statm': Permission denied rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/maps': Permission denied rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/mem': Permission denied rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/cwd': Permission denied rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/root': Permission denied rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/exe': Permission denied rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/mounts': Permission denied All these files are under /var/cache/prevu/builds/ It seems that ./20423/proc/ is hardlinked (can you even do that?) or cloned to /proc/ . Any suggestions on how do I delete the folder ./20423/ ? --- mike t. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
