I attempeted to install the portable version of texlive (on an SSD card) on a Linux Debian installation. It started OK, with some files and directories installed, but then error messages:



  Installing [0001/3701, time/total: ??:??/??:??]: 12many
[376k]

tar: tex/latex/12many/12many.sty: Cannot change
ownership to uid 0, gid 0: Operation not permitted

tar: tlpkg/tlpobj/12many.tlpobj: Cannot change ownership
to uid 0, gid 0: Operation not permitted

tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors


I was doing this as sudo, so permissions should not have been a problem. Also, 12many.sty was installed with ownership "rw" for me and "r" for others.



Any suggestions?
