Re: Bug#312383: marked as done ([experimental] dpkg allways tries to write to logfile)

[Aishwarya <aishwaryakannan30@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I tried installing skype in edubuntu. When I tried with the command dpkg 
-i skype-ubuntu-lucid_4.2.0.11-1_i386.deb , it showed me this bug

couldn't open log `/var/log/dpkg.log': Permission denied
dpkg: error processing skype-ubuntu-lucid_4.2.0.11-1_i386.deb (--install):
 cannot access archive: No such file or directory
dpkg: error: failed to open '/var/lib/dpkg/available' for writing 
available database: Permission denied

I got this even after I gave permission (755) to the above two files.

Could you please help me with this?

Thanks,
K.Aishwarya
