Which feed are you trying to install packages from?

FAT (Windows or DOS) file systems do not understand permissions... UID simply has no meaning on Windows FAT.

FAT also doesn't allow symlinks.

I would suggest you format your SD-card with ext2

Before you reformat your SD card, what type is it? I would strongly recommend not reformatting if its a Sandisk card. I had all kinds of problems. Search the forums for others views on this.

I have a Lexar card which is absolutely fine formatted ext3. I've also tried a couple of other makes with no problems.

Yeah it's a scandisk, what type of problems did you have?

The card formatted fine, if I recall correctly. After a week or two, stuff would disappear. A file system check brought up loads of errors. I remember others mantioning the same kind of thing, so I replaced it with the Lexar I use now. I have had no problems with it in well over a year.

Hi,

FYI - External media must be ejected "properly", otherwise corruption will most
likely occcur in a short time, especially if the card is improperly ejected shortly
after writing to it.  I'm not trying to insult anyone's intelligence, but I have found
in the past that a few folks (even in the non-portable computing arena) do not
realize that the writes do not necessarily occur in real time.

I figured I'd mention this, please do not take any offense,  John.

None taken.

In my experience, though, such as it is, this problem only manifested itself with the Sandisk cards, and then only when formatted ext2 or ext3. I'm not really making any comment as t why this happened, just that it did.
