I get an error message like this:\r\n![atom-update-error](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/9311295/6141355/2a450964-b172-11e4-9780-d67ed56741e5.png)\r\n\r\napm gives the same error on the command line, unless sudo is used. In which case it works fine. On a possibly related note, packages linked via `apm link --dev` show up in the installed packages view like they should, but are not activateable.\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/atom/atom/issues/comments/74357233","html_url":"https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/5492#issuecomment-74357233","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/atom/atom/issues/5492","id":74357233,"user":{"login":"sedabull","id":9311295,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/9311295?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/sedabull","html_url":"https://github.com/sedabull","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sedabull/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sedabull/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sedabull/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sedabull/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sedabull/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sedabull/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sedabull/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sedabull/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sedabull/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-14T02:17:39Z","updated_at":"2015-02-14T02:17:39Z","body":"@kevinsawicki, I know you're probably really busy, but I was just wondering if there are any updates on this issue, and/or if there's any more troubleshooting I can do from my end. I've tried pretty much every permutation I can think of `apm link`, `apm link --dev`, `atom`, `atom --dev`, I've even tried hard copying my local project into `~/.atom/packages` and `~/.atom/dev/packages`, but nothing seems to be working."}}
