nethack lock file

[Stefan Baums <sbaums@stud.uni-goettingen.de>]

Hi all,

After installing Debian 1.3.0 (from scratch):

	$ nethack

	NetHack, Copyright 1985-1996
		By Stichting Mathematisch Centrum and M. Stephenson.
		See license for details.
	No write permission to lock /var/lib/games/nethack/perm!

	Hit space to continue: <hitting space, program aborts>

	$ ls -l /var/lib/games/nethack/perm

	-rw-rw-r-- 1 root games 0 May 27 09:02 /var/lib/games/nethack/perm

So what am I to do (chmod o+w perm as root has no effect; deleting perm
results in "couldn't find lock file perm" plus abort)?

Greetings,
Stefan
