When installing Mutt in my home directory, I get the following error:

chgrp: changing group of `/home/lefevre/bin/mutt_dotlock': Operation not permitted
Can't fix mutt_dotlock's permissions!
make[2]: *** [install-exec-local] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/lefevre/software/mutt/mutt'
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/lefevre/software/mutt/mutt'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

This is normal, but anyway, mutt_dotlock is already installed in
/usr/bin. In fact, I just want to install the mutt binary. The
problem is that Mutt has installed a mutt_dotlock with incorrect
permissions in my home directory. I think that if it can't set
the correct permissions, it shouldn't install mutt_dotlock.
