permissions relative to the folders you are trying to delete.

You don't have to chown the directories if you followed the book's 
directions in the first place. You need to do all of chapter 5 as the 
lfs user as instructed in the book. Of course if you've already gotten 
this far then it should probably be enough just to go ahead, chown the 
contents of $LFS/tools to the lfs user, and continue as the lfs user. Do

not do any part of chapter 5 as anything other than the lfs user and 
(assuming $LFS/tools and $LFS/sources have the right ownership and 
permissions and the lfs user has the correct environment) everything 
will work fine.

The reason I ran into this was because I had unpacked several packages
as root, so lfs didn't have permissions to those folders.
