Updating azureus fails [solved*]

I installed azureus but when I try to update it I get this error. 

Version 1.7 of plugin 'azupdater' failed to install - /usr/share/azureus/plugins/azupdater/azupdater_1.7.zip (Permission denied)

I tried doing the makepkg both as a normal user (w/ fakeroot) and as root.  I also tried pacman -A as root and using sudo... same results.  Permissions are set to root:root for this directory and I tried changing it to root:users but that also didn't help. 

I'm pretty much out of ideas..

On a related note, it seems that the restart Azureus button doesn't work.. it'll shut down but then fails to come back up.

Azureus works fine for me... updates & restarts fine. If I remember right I just downloaded it from their homepage and unpacked it into my home dir (it wasn't in the Arch repos then!).

Its trying to update a file in a directory that your user has no right for i think.
Try running azureus as ROOT and updating from the menu. That way should work.

Yeah - running it as root worked.  I wish there was a more elegant solution but -- hey, it worked..  Thanks!

Re: Updating azureus fails [solved*]

In future, use the PKGBUILD from the AUR rather than updating from within the application:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … yPackages=
