apt-listchanges: Do you want to continue? [Y/n]?

what are the perms of /var itself and its subdirs? mine looks like

^^^^^

/var not /tmp

anything under /var/tmp should be owned by root (UID 0), and not you

^^^^^^^^^

/var/tmp not /tmp

did a chown -R on var/tmp. then started ff and got some error messages.
session as follows:

no. you chown'ed /tmp which is not /var/tmp. And, *look* at /var
*first* to see if it matches what I posted.

don't panic though, there is (or should not be) anything persistent in
/tmp, so it will fix itself up with a reboot.

meanwhile look at

/var permissions for potential problems. In particular, /var/tmp
should have the sticky bit set. Maybe you could post up the output of

ls -ld /var

and

ls -l /var

Andy,

thanks for your patience. can it be old age? ;o) at any rate:

after doing 'sudo chown -R root /var/tmp', i get:

kloro@debian:/$ ls -l /var/tmp
total 0
drwx------ 8 root kloro 256 2007-10-29 17:53 kdecache-kloro/

drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 48 2005-12-19 02:58 vi.recover/
kloro@debian:/$

but firefox still won't save stuff unless i start it with 'sudo'.

aren't the permissions in '/var/tmp' a little weird?

thanks,

tom
