[cobalt-users] Problem with updates

[Drew Minniti <drew.minniti@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, i've mentioned this about BIND, but I am having the same problems with the mtab and ncurses update.  The interface returns an error about the rpms.

With BIND, I upgraded via rpm and got permission denied errors about not being able to unlink some files like dnskeygen, even though I was root.  I found out that the files were immutable so I had to change that.  and figure out which files the rpms were trying to move.  However, with mtab and ncurses I don't know what files I need to make not immutable (would that be mutable).  I guess for security reasons its best to have files in /usr/sbin /usr/bin and /usr/lib as immutable... fine, makes sense, but I cannot install upgrades.

Does anyone know why this would happen?  This was never a problem before.  I am hoping someone can help me to understand why this issue has arisen.

Thanks in advance.
