Whoa, before you do that, check the permissions on ALL of your temp
directories... /tmp /var/tmp /usr/tmp ... especially if you've
moved them, for example to put them under /usr with a symlink
at some stage.
I get bitten with this one on every installation. IIRC it's the
permissions on /usr/tmp that go wrong. It's always Midnight Commander
that screams to remind me.
