Description tnemeth 2010-09-01 21:54:24 UTC
Version:           1.6.5 (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

Since today, akregator complains that it can't write to
/home/thomas/.kde/share/apps/akregator/data//feeds.opml

I don't have changed much things since this morning except an
update about usb-creator.

Of course I double-checked access to the file and all the directory
path and everything is ok. So I used strace on akregator --nofork to
see what happens. It seems that a check against the file's executable
bit is the culprit :
access("/media/Documents/thomas/.configuration/kde/apps/akregator/data/feeds.opml", X_OK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

(yes, /home/thomas/.kde/share/apps/akregator is a symbolic link to
/media/Documents/thomas/.configuration/kde/apps/akregator but that hasn't
been a problems in years until now).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Launch akregator. It happens quickly if you try to quit it.

Actual Results:  
An error message appears telling that there is a problem writing to feeds.opml
and that I should check the file's permissions.

Expected Results:  
There should be no problem.

I tried to set the file executable, but it didn't work.

It's just a badly written error message. The disk was full. There was no need
to check permissions.

Changing status. Akregator wasn't the cause of the error.
