Not sure how to determine the answer to your question.

Here's some new news: I got and upgrade-installed version 1.2.3. I ran it in the shell, and got the following output, which I logged to a file. The file is located here:

http://www.organelle.org/organelle/gfoutput.txt

In case it's important, here's the permissions of the /orgz directory:

drwxr-xr-x 4 nobody nobody 4096 Jan 18 22:18 .
