Do you write permissions where the default library index is written?  If not,
did you use an appropriate option to destdir ?

Is that a literal "package", are do you mean this as an example?

This looks as if the build failed. I'd remove the package and try again. If
it fails again, but doesn't affect other packages, I'd consider debugging
cron.

Hth, Dirk
