1. Summarise the issue (what were doing, what went wrong?) - Create a darcs repo with a patch index - chmod the patch index files in _darcs/patch_index to be not readable - Run a command that would update the cache, like darcs oblit The command files like this: "darcs: /repo/filecache-tmp-3: rename: unsatisified constraints (Directory not empty) 2. What behaviour were you expecting instead? The diagnostic message should explain the real problem instead, something like: "Creating patch index failed: _darcs/patch_index/foo is not writable" 3. What darcs version are you using? (Try: darcs --exact-version) 2.9.7 (+ 49 patches) I plan to contribute a failing test for this shortly.

I've posted a failing test for this to the patch tracker, and also my Hub repo: http://hub.darcs.net/markstos/darcs-screened/patch/20130217011607-8a0ef
