Hello, I have a problem. When upgrading my openssh-portable, it fails to install when it tries to "chmod 0700 /var/empty", which gives the error message: Operation not permitted. The permissions on /var/empty are 0555. When I tried to "rm -rf /var/empty", it fails with the same error message. My /var is linked to /usr/var. I tried to chmod /usr/var/empty, but no difference. I have stopped almost all of the services running in the background, and lsof reports that there aren't any processes using anything in /var/empty. Anyone have any suggestions to remedy this?
