Hello, I've been struggling with this problem for a while now and haven't found a solution so far. The thing is that I can't install any packages on my VPS, since I'm not allowed to write to /usr/sbin. What's throwing me off the most is that I have not write permissions as root either. The output looks like the following Code: # apt-get install clamav-daemon Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: ttf-dejavu-extra emacs23-bin-common emacs23-common ttf-dejavu Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. Suggested packages: daemon clamav-docs The following packages will be upgraded: clamav-daemon 1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 433 not upgraded. 2 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B/397kB of archives. After this operation, 12.3kB of additional disk space will be used. (Reading database ... 48700 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace clamav-daemon 0.95.1+dfsg-2 (using .../clamav-daemon_0.96.1+dfsg-1_i386.deb) ...

Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/clamav-daemon_0.96.1+dfsg-1_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I tried removing the 'i' attribute from /usr/sbin Code: # chattr -i /usr/sbin However, it didn't lead to any success. The attributes of /usr/sbin are: Code: # lsattr /usr/ ------------------- /usr/share ------------------- /usr/src --------------I---- /usr/include --------------I---- /usr/bin ------------------- /usr/games ------------------- /usr/X11R6 ------------------- /usr/local --------------I---- /usr/lib ------------------- /usr/nsbin suS-iadAc---------- /usr/sbin I seriously need to get this fixed asap. Would really appreciate if someone could come up with a solution.
