I'm trying to update my installation of alex, on Unix (Ubuntu). But I get the dump below It's complaining about a lock file being an invalid argument (see highlight below). If I manually remove the file I get past that, it successfully installs tf-random, but the same thing happens on the next package. So I can install packages one at a time, but that's silly.

Hmm. Here's a shot in the dark: is home home directory mounted via NFS by any chance?

I was thinking CIFS, but pretty much the same issue. Or NTFS via FUSE module. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
