cannot unlink

1999-06-19 Thread Reine Johansson
When I tried purging the package bc the following thing happened;

dpkg: error processing bc (--purge):
 unable to delete control info file `/var/lib/dpkg/info/bc.postinst':
Operation not permitted

And then I tried to remove the file manually being root;

rm: cannot unlink `bc.postinst': Operation not permitted

Why can't this file be removed?

Try looking at the file with ls -l. You might need to use chmod to
fix the permissions so you can delete the file. (chmod 600 bc.postinst)
