When I fired up Opera this morning it offered me the update to 10.1,
which I accepted.

It downloaded OK, but when it tried to install the update, I got an
error message saying that the update had failed. Sure enough, on
checking the version number, it hadn't updated.

The solution was to log into an admin account and perform the update
there. The ownership of Opera.app is that of the admin account, because
I used that account to do the initial installation of Opera.

Running on Leopard 10.8 PPC.

Actually, is is 10.01. The release of 10.10 will come later, so the
distinction is important.
