Description:

Beagle crawl system failes because of wrong permissions for directory /var/cache/beagle.
The directory belongs to root instead of beaglidx. This should be set in the install script.

Additional info:

* package version(s)

beagle 0.3.0-2

* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:

Set the DEBUG variable to 1 in file /etc/cron.daily/beagle-crawl-system.
Then run /etc/cron.daily/beagle-crawl-system as root.

This issue is very easy to fix :
chown -R beaglidx:beaglidx /var/cache/beagle

This should also be fixed in the PKGBUILD / install script.

I hope it helped !
Thank you to the devs for packaging this great tool :-)
Cheers,

Thanks for the heads up, fixed. Also, if you've been using beagle for a while, you might want to look at this:
