My home is on NFS4 in case it matters.
If you want other info or would like me to do some tests, just ask.

It definitely matters. chflags is not supported by NFS.

I thought so...



But I have no idea why and where chflags is performed. I suspect it's mv(1) doing that

Does mv ever change flags?
There's no mention of it in the man page and I thought it didn't.

In any case I'd be curious which flags the script would want to set.



what kind of FS is your /tmp?

ZFS.



COuld you try creating a temporary directory in your home and pointing TMPDIR there?

Sure.
Now it just dumps core without giving any message.
A subfolder briefly appears in TMPDIR, but then it's gone.
~/.themes gets populated (as it did when TMPDIR was on local ZFS).
The theme is then selectable in "Window Manager" settings, but doesn't appear in xfce4-appearance-settings' list.

So, in the end, I think the messages about chflags were just warnings and could be ignored; the problem lies elsewhere.



The script does require a change to accomodate for not having any of the variables it checks set, but you will need to define TMPDIR anyway in your setup most probably to have it working.

I've got no problem with that, altough I suggest specifying this in pkg-message.



 bye & Thanks
