Having fixed the ncurses-base dependency, I tried to install with > # mkdir /media/mmc1/emacs > # dpkg --instdir=/media/mmc1/emacs -i emacs_22.1-1_armel.deb > (Reading database ... 18457 files and directories currently installed.) > Unpacking emacs (from emacs_22.1-1_armel.deb) ... > dpkg: error processing emacs_22.1-1_armel.deb (--install): > error setting ownership of `./usr': Operation not permitted > dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) > Errors were encountered while processing: > emacs_22.1-1_armel.deb > # ls -ld /media/mmc1/emacs/ > drwxrwxrwx 2 user root 32768 Jun 21 16:09 /media/mmc1/emacs/ > # Why should it have a problem with ownership when I'm installing as root? Without knowing what the preprocess script is trying to do, can I assume that the './usr' it refers to is in fact /media/mmc1/emacs/usr (ie that it has changed directory to the specified destination and therefore really means it when it gives a relative directory reference?) or is it still in fact trying to install in /usr (which will of course fail: the built-in memory doesn't have enough space for something as big as Emacs). (And incidentally, is that 32768 because of the granularity of the FAT format? Give that this card will never need to be used in Windows, can I reformat it with mkfs and a lower block size?) ///Peter _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
