[horde] Composer update error.

[Simon B]

Hi All,

today I was brave and decided to try and update.

This is the command I previously used succcessfully

cd /usr/share/2024-composer-horde6; sudo -u www-data composer update
;sudo -u www-data composer update horde/bundle ;cd

Most of it seemed okay, but I got these errors at the end.

Should I be worried? :)

Is there something I should do?

Maybe it is because for some reason the
/var/www/.composer/cache/files/pear  path is owned by root?

ls /var/www/.composer/cache/files/

How does it look on your systems?
