Right, your gonna want to do just what it says there in this new message.
 Now you can either use Disk Utility from a Boot CD and Run "Repair
Permissions", or you can give your self write access to this directory as
well like you did the last one, as it should be writeable by your user
account just as 3 others I'll list here as well incase they are wrong as
well. Use the same command as last time ( and the same as what you would
run on Ubuntu as well )

export USER=yourlogin
sudo chown -R $USER:staff /Library/Python

Above is the new directory it mentioned. Below are not needed by
Juju specifically but are likely out of whack on your system as well if
those were.

sudo chown -R $USER:staff /Library/Ruby
sudo chown -R $USER:staff /Library/Perl
sudo chown -R $USER:staff /Library/Cache

And them there is a 3rd option that is outlined in the paragraph it printed
for you as well as a link that will likely explain what I'm about to below
( as well as tell you how to fix it like above or install to an alternate
location like your home directory )

** Now note, the way these generally get messed up are by running "sudo pip
install blah" or "sudo gem install blah" or "sudo easy_install blah" , it
can be an easy mistake if your muscle memory is pre programed to do so for
apt-get or dpkg on Ubuntu ( or rpm etc etc ) but its a big no no on OS X
and the primary reason the "Repair Permissions" button in the Disk utility
even exists. Python libs and Ruby gems etc are designed to be built and
installed fully by your unprivileged user account, as is anything in
/usr/local ( same on Linux too but I dont think its enforced or has
the consequences it does on OS X ) thus brew unlike easy_install or pip or
gem, will flat out tell you it refuses to run with a big red message if you
by habit do "sudo brew install blah" to try and prevent further damage but
this also makes you "Fix" any previous mishaps or they are only writeable
by root after using the sudo once. **

Short of the long story, I'll add these 4 directories to the Forumla to
catch other corner cases hopefully, and incude it with the next update to
the package. But I wanted to make sure you understood the "Why" when I say
"Its your system thats broke, and maybe in other places too" as I did in
the last email VS just saying , "ok do this".

Hope this helps! Cheers.
