I modified my old PKGBUILD to create a package that only wraps the /opt/git-annex.linux directory. It still left me with the same error. I first suspected the Archlinux packaging of modifying the binaries in some awkward manner. But guess what, it's caused by the restrictive file/directory permissions on /opt/git-annex.linux. + +So here is how I can reproduce the error: + +- Step 1: Extract the git-annex standalone tarball to /opt/. +- Step 2: Change the owner and group of /opt/git-annex.linux to `root` (`chown -R root:root /opt/git-annex.linux`). + +So, what happens here? On the first execution of git-annex, it creates a `locales` directory in /opt/git-annex.linux. If the permissions are too restrictive, it silently fails to do that. I get the above error messages if the locales directory is not initialised. +"""]]
