Ok, Running through the SDK I've gotten 3.1 installed N/P. I've gotten Armel to update N/P. However when I get to the x86 SDK what happens is that I'm suddenly stuck on the most basic of debs. Literally the base files. (Reading database ... 14668 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace base-files 3.1.osso2+3.1.10.osso7 (using base-files_3.1.osso2+3.1.10.osso7_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement base-files ... Setting up base-files (3.1.osso2+3.1.10.osso7) ... /scratchbox/tools/bin/chown: changing ownership of `/var/run/utmp': Operation not permitted /scratchbox/tools/bin/chown: changing ownership of `/var/log/wtmp': Operation not permitted /scratchbox/tools/bin/chown: changing ownership of `/var/log/btmp': Operation not permitted /scratchbox/tools/bin/chown: changing ownership of `/var/log/lastlog': Operation not permitted dpkg: error processing base-files (--install): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: base-files Just for grins I chmoded the above files 777 (they are owned by my user.) and it still couldn't chown them.. Nor does it tell me what it wants to chown them to. James
