tags 297858 patch thanks The problem is that $(MAKE) install triggers update-desktop-database, which fails if run without root privileges.
The patch I've written removes install/uninstall hooks, since I think that everything that can be called via these hooks should be run at package-install time anyway, rather that at build time. Probably drivel should run update-desktop-database when it is installed, I've got a patch for that too (available at <URL:http://greek0.net/~greek0/patches>). If you wish I can submit a new bug report against drivel with that patch attatched. Cheers, Greek0
