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.
