Looks like Enemy Territory was installed in the /usr/local/games directory on your PC. Regular users cannot modify files outside of their home directory, so in order to run the updater you'll need to be logged in as root user.

You may need to make the file executable by typing:

chmod +x et-linux-2.56-update-2.x86.run

Then run it with the command:

sh et-linux-2.56-update-2.x86.run

actualy all he has to do in add his user to the games group with this command

gpasswd -a <user_name> games

without the <>

I know this has been solved, but I had the problem, and here's how I installed it.

1) Opened aterm
2) su
3) password
4) chmod +x et-**.run
5) ./et-**.run

If the .run file isn't in your users home directory, then you'll need to change to the respective directory before step 4

Command completed!
