I hit an error when upgrading a Debian machine's HQclient to 15.0.416. The installer will fail with this error:


Installing HQueue Client files…
cp: preserving times for ‘./tool.pyc’: Operation not permitted
ERROR: Could not install HQueue client files.
Error: Could not install HQueue.


Houdini 15.0 Installation completed.


Please read /opt/hfs15.0.416/Readme.txt
for instructions on how to run Houdini.

*** NOTE ***
Some install errors seem to have occurred.
Your installation may not be complete.
Please correct any serious problems and re-install if necessary.


We hope you enjoy using Houdini 15.0
Thank you.



It's been submitted as bug #74586, but in case anyone else hits it, you need to manually add your shared folder to /etc/fstab, run “mount -a” as sudo to mount it, and restart your hqclient.

Cheers
