[AuckLUG] `libgl1-mesa-dri': Permission denied

[Cheng Eu Chew]

Sorry it took me so long to get back, I'm not able to get fsck
running, get this error:
Failed to open the device '/dev/hda1': Permission denied

I'm running this under my own account, even tried to force it through
(fsck.reiserfs /dev/hda1/ and fsck.resierfs -f /dev/hda1/). Checked
the manual for fsck, seems to be fine to run as root, but just wanted
to check that it is.

Can anyone else think of a solution to this problem of apt-get not
installing the packages?
