Hi DU Admins
I asked why `setld -i' shows subsets as incomplete when they are
actually either completely installed or not installed at all?
I got replies from Dr.Tom Blinn and Matthias Reichling. Tom
said this can happen if one or more of the control files is
corrupted however that wasnt' the problem in my case.
Matthias had the answer. This only happens if you run setld
as an unprivileged user. When I run it as root the status of
all subsets is correctly reported. Something to do with permissions
I assume.
