Friends 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? Cheers, - Ben
