Hi,

does it affect the behavior of pydev negatively? Then it is an issue.
Otherwise I think this warning can be ignored. However I keep it open
until we know more about it.


/usr/share/eclipse/dropins/pydev/eclipse/plugins/org.python.pydev.jython_3.9.2.dist/cachedir/packages

isn't writable so the message is no surprise. The question is whether
cachedir should be in /usr/share at all or in the user's home directory.

Regards,

Markus
