My apologies if my thread trimming glitched any. That thing about "/",
were your packages e.g. deb packages or did you untar a package or a
few?

It's about a bug I tried to submit to Security a couple years ago. I
got shut down, kind of a cyber hand thrown up in my face. STILL "not
amused".

It was about my own "/" multiple times over becoming owned by
something else every time I untarred one particular package. The
package would reach up two or three or so parent directories to take
over the "/" directory.
