[comp.sys.mac.system] Updating the Desktop

juana@dciem.dciem.dnd.ca (Juana Chang) (08/16/90)

Hi.  I am having problems updating the Desktop, when I attempt to update
it, GateKeeper vetoes my attempt.  It gives me the following message:

GateKeeper has vetoed an attempt by Finder to violate "Res(Other)"
privileges against Desktop. [AddResource(ADBS,0)]

What does this mean??

Even when I turn GateKeeper off, it still gives me the same message.
Should I ignore the message and remove it from the Systems folder and
re-attempt updating the Desktop? 

The version of GateKeeper is 1.1.1 of 26-Jun-89.

Thanks for any help.

Somewhere on your disk, you've got a copy of Adobe Separator (part of the
Adobe Illustrator package). The creator code for Adobe Separator is ADBS,
which, coincidentally, is also a valid resource type located in the System
file. Gatekeeper is flagging the ADBS bundle/creator info as something
"suspicious" going on.

To solve the problem, either trash Adobe Separator from your disk, or
disable Gatekeeper temporarily while you rebuild your desktop.
