Bug#217415: dpkg: failed to lock dir for editing! Operation not permitted



Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.15
Severity: grave
File: /usr/sbin/install-info

Failed to lock dir for editing! Operation not permitted

I  did  have  this  error  message (and  dselect/  dpkg  freeze!)   when
installing  'coreutils'.  I did  commented  install-info  lines and  the
problem was for 'diff'... (same with findutils, etc). 

I  don't  know  if it's  dpkg  (install-info)  or  perl (!?)...  on  the
powerbook  I'm trying  to  install, the  perl  version is  5.8.0. I  did
upgrade to 5.8.1-3 but it seems not to be the problem. 

Many thanks for your attention
