I don't think relying on the updating software not caring that you're trying to own a directory that you have no business owning, is a good practice. That's what I mean by not a new problem. Google Earth has made that mistake for years. Applications should only try to own their own directories. If they depend on some system directories/files which may not be present, then they should be called in from either a system package, or be an optional install. Not try and jam in on top of existing paths and ownerships. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
