Hi, this doesn't seem like a common error. You could check if eveything on your system looks as it should:
# dpkg --verify nmap-common # md5sum /usr/share/nmap/nselib/data/psexec/nmap_service.exe 71a2163a7d8edd754134e3c34815c9dc /usr/share/nmap/nselib/data/psexec/nmap_service.exe # ll /usr/share/nmap/nselib/data/psexec/nmap_service.exe -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 324719 Sep 5 11:04 /usr/share/nmap/nselib/data/psexec/nmap_service.exe But other than that (the file might be modified by you?) I'd not see how the packaging unpack would get an "Operation not permitted". I see no special mount points or anything like it. Also is this issue reproducible? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856361 Title: package nmap-common (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: unable to open '/usr/share/nmap/nselib/data/psexec/nmap_service.exe.dpkg- new': Operation not permitted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nmap/+bug/1856361/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
