Bug Description
Binary package hint: eclipse
Install eclipse (on feisty), start it fresh, (with or without an .eclipse directory).
(I actually created a new user to be sure there was no setting of my own influencing this).
You'll get:
Could not create /usr/local/
touch /usr/local/
chmod 2775 /usr/local/
chown root:staff /usr/local/

I'd like to state that I too get this. However, whether I create this file or not, I still can't actually run eclipse (See <a href="https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ eclipse/ +bug/132338">Eclipse won't start</a>)
