[Pkg-julia-devel] Bug#953290: julia: PackageCompiler create_app requires root priveleges

[Matsievskiy S.V.]

Package: julia
Version: 1.3.1+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm using PackageCompiler v1.0
(https://julialang.github.io/PackageCompiler.jl/dev/) to compile example
application (using instructions from here:
https://julialang.github.io/PackageCompiler.jl/dev/apps/#Creating-an-app-1),
provided by the package
(https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl/tree/master/examples/MyApp).

When I use Julia v1.3.1 from Debian package, call `create_app("MyApp",
"MyAppCompiled")` fails with error:
`ERROR: SystemError: opening file
"/usr/bin/../share/julia/base/sysimage_package
compiler_f54d5e94-6050-11ea-07da-17fb65561dd6.jl": Permission denied`

There's no such problem when using binaries from
https://julialang.org/downloads/
