pdb/update.sh does not appear to work. It's not letting me chgrp 
anything. Everything in 10.3.../gnome is now in the users group owned 
by me. 'chown' is not working either, for that matter.

chgrp: changing group of 
`./fink/10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/metacity.info': Operationnot 
permitted

benh57@sc8-pr-shell1:~$ touch foo
benh57@sc8-pr-shell1:~$ chgrp fink foo
chgrp: changing group of `foo': Operation not permitted
