Below are my attempts to reproduce and fix the problem: This is what I see in autobulder environment: > grep /opt$ /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.list /opt It means that /opt belongs to base-files package. And I can easily reproduce the error if I try to install any package with /opt directory inside it: > fakeroot apt-get install clucene-core Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree...

Let's remove /opt from base-files.list and see what happens: Unpacking clucene-core (from .../clucene-core_0.9.21b-0maemo1_armel.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/clucene-core_0.9.21b-0maemo1_armel.deb (--unpack): error creating directory `./opt': Permission denied dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/clucene-core_0.9.21b-0maemo1_armel.deb It didn't help, but we can see that dpkg tries to create directory /opt and fails because symlink /opt already exists. OK, then. Let's put /opt back to base-files.list and create directory /opt instead of symlink: $ sudo rm /scratchbox/users/ed/opt $ sudo mkdir /scratchbox/users/ed/opt $ sudo chown ed /scratchbox/users/ed/opt And try again: > fakeroot apt-get install clucene-core Reading package lists...

Unpacking clucene-core (from .../clucene-core_0.9.21b-0maemo1_armel.deb) ... Setting up clucene-core (0.9.21b-0maemo1) ... It works! Hurray! :) So, my conclusion is this is scratchbox problem, not autobuilder one. It's not autobuilder, who creates /opt symlinks. They're created by scratchbox for each user. May be scratchbox guys can explain how to fix it properly. Of course I can remove symlinks and create directories instead for all builders, but may be there is better way to solve the problem? -- BR, Ed
