Re: Can't install conky

Actually, you did install conky, it just installed with a warning.

As far as I know, you can safely ignore that warning.

I've been getting that warning a lot lately. Unless you are really worried about security, you can disregard it, I'm sure.

Re: Can't install conky

conky needs to get its directory permission fixed. Please submit a bug report.

What is this warning anyway?

Someone had same problem  with nitrogen and conky and reported a bug (cant find link right now). Should I report a bug also?

The warning is just what it says. Permissions for the directory /man/man1 in the package differs on the one in your system. Permissions should be set right in the PKGBUILD. You may try to contact the contributors of the PKGBUILDs (conky, nitrogen,..) and tell them that -> bugreport.
