Searching The Fine Archives indicates that this may be caused by the file in question being immutable, possibly as a result of intrusion. Use lsattr to check if this is the case, which would be a Bad Thing. It could also be some other issue concerning the file system (buggy Reiser hashing seems to have been a problem at least in the past), so it would help respondents if you could mention what file system is used. > Found one link googling for the lintian/overrides error, > http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=file > list&word=libslang2&version=unstable&arch=mips, but the site and > search engine was disabled. You can use http://pdo.debian.net/ whilst waiting for the resurrection of packages.debian.org, but all this particular link would show you is a list of the files included in the libslang2 package in the unstable branch for the Mips architecture. I doubt this is related to the libslang2 package specifically, so a better search for Google seems to be something like: "unable to make backup link" "operation not permitted" site:debian.org -- Alex Nordstrom http://lx.n3.net/ Please do not CC me in followups; I am subscribed to debian-user.
