I thought so...

Does mv ever change flags?
There's no mention of it in the man page and I thought it didn't.

In any case I'd be curious which flags the script would want to set.

ZFS.

Sure.
Now it just dumps core without giving any message.
A subfolder briefly appears in TMPDIR, but then it's gone.
~/.themes gets populated (as it did when TMPDIR was on local ZFS).
The theme is then selectable in "Window Manager" settings, but doesn't 
appear in xfce4-appearance-settings' list.

So, in the end, I think the messages about chflags were just warnings 
and could be ignored; the problem lies elsewhere.

I've got no problem with that, altough I suggest specifying this in 
pkg-message.



  bye & Thanks
