Permission Denied error

[sixilli]

I've ran into this issue on fresh installs in WSL, Ubuntu Hyper-V and now Endeavour OS (arch). WSL and Hyper-V I never managed to get working. Things were working fine in Endeavour OS, but after rebooting I'm getting this error again. In Ubuntu the error was the same except that path was /var/lib/git Any help would be greatly appreciated. I followed the instructions here for all of the installs. https://ocaml.org/docs/up-and-running

Is /var/lib/pacman a directory?

[sixilli]

@rjbou Yes it is

[rjbou]

This should be then fixed by #5606

[rjbou]

To be sure, is /var/lib/ in your PATH?
