+Hi bascule
+
+I don't think it's permissions, but owners and groups that are your problem.
+
+The second set of errors are about groups and owners. They can differ
+from distribution to distribution - you had &quot;yum&quot; listed on your last
+e-mail, which implies a Fedora/RedHat-based installation was on there
+previously. One or the other distribution (I can't remember which)
+enforces user:group IDs of 1000 and above on unprivileged users and
+Mageia allows 500 and above. That can cause some *real* problems moving
+from one to another, or dual booting into the same set of /home
+directories, as I did once.
+
+Check, especially that the files in /var are owned by root:root and not
+by anything else or has a numeric ID listed, which implies that your
+user:group numbers have changed between distribution installs.
