I'm getting "Operation not permitted" in the mini-dinstall.log everytime a new debian package has been uploaded on the custom debian repository using dput. The deb file is installed successfuly but the changes file remains in the incoming folder. I can not use a post-install script when the changes file can not be processed. How can I fix this problem? Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/mini-dinstall", line 780, in install retval = self._install_run_scripts(changefilename, changefile) File "/usr/bin/mini-dinstall", line 826, in _install_run_scripts do_chmod(changefilename, 0600) File "/usr/bin/mini-dinstall", line 193, in do_chmod do_and_log('Changing mode of "%s" to %o' % (name, mode), os.chmod, name, mode) File "/usr/bin/mini-dinstall", line 176, in do_and_log function(*args) OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/srv/debian-repository/mini-dinstall/incoming/debian-repository_1.3_amd64.changes' The mini-dinstall permissions: ls -lad incoming/ drwxrws--- 2 mini-dinstall debian-repository-uploader 4096 Jun 6 11:45 incoming/ ls -la incoming/debian-repository_1.3_amd64.changes -rw-rw---- 1 uploader-user debian-repository-uploader 1322 Jun 6 11:43 incoming/debian-repository_1.3_amd64.changes groups uploader-user uploader-user : uploader-user adm users debian-repository debian-repository-uploader puppet-client-updater groups mini-dinstall mini-dinstall : mini-dinstall debian-repository-uploader Cheers and thanks V.
