Comment 10 for bug 1375836

Hi William,

When I try and download the package I get:

root@web2:~# dpkg -i netbase_5.2_all.deb
(Reading database ... 277574 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack netbase_5.2_all.deb ...
Unpacking netbase (5.2) over (5.2) ...
Setting up netbase (5.2) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/services ...
dpkg: error processing package netbase (--install):
 unable to install `/etc/services.dpkg-new' as `/etc/services': Operation not permitted
Errors were encountered while processing:
 netbase

Any suggestions - it seems like /etc/services is locked?
