Subject: [9fans] System patch failed: Permission denied
Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2012 22:26:34 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAL3m8eCYt4AREYc5r87CXLsTgiOy_FVBHChWA6Tb38Z0x-jy6Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello. I wish to patch my system, but can't:
% who
glenda
% cat /adm/users | grep glenda
glenda:glenda:glenda:
sys:sys::glenda
% ape/patch < /usr/glenda/nix.diff
patching file 'float.h'
patch: **** can't rename '/tmp/...' to 'float.h': Permission denied
%
What?
I tried other diffs; same grief. How can I do so? I briefly searched
the 9fans archive, but found no such method, though I'm a 9novice so
might have just missed it.
Thanks.
Cheers,
strake
