Hello all... I have RH7.2, with ext3 filesystem. My problem is: It is not possible to write or delete and change owner or permission in /usr/share/locale/ga/LC_MESSAGES Also, I can´t write/delete files in this directory, and also in ../locale/ga/ Therefore I cannot upgrade to RH8.0, because installer needs to write to this directory, but he cannot. Owner of ../ga/LC_MESSAGES is root, group is also root. Permissions are 755. For example in /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES, I can write/delete, and parameters are the same. Permissions 755, owner/group is root/root. I also have tried to check the ext3 filesystem with fsck, but all seems ok. Thank you for response. Juraj.

It sounds like you've got the immutable or append-only bits set somewhere. "chattr -ai" to remove them. Cheers, Stephen
