Running the "metadata release" script and "OPL-update" script using "sudo -e" and the full path to the script resulted in some different results that now allow the library browser to work. I am now getting some errors clicking on some of the different buttons.
This is probably an artifact of running some of the scripts as root.
Most likely you can just delete the folder at /opt/webwork/libraries/webwork-open-problem-library/OpenProblemLibrary/fileFetch.H1nftW. That folder was probably created as a temporary location for downloaded files. It's worth looking to see what's in that folder to make sure that it doesn't look like anything important.
There is actually not a file or folder with that name in that path. Also noticed I'm getting a similar error in the Hmwk Sets editor:
Can't opendir(/opt/webwork/libraries/webwork-open-problem-library/OpenProblemLibrary/FileFetch.H1nftW): Permission denied

Can you please share what results you received from running the `download-OPL-metadata-release`?
Sure thing!
Found OPL METADATA release v2022-05-30.
Downloaded release archive, now extracting.
Restoring OPL tables from release database dump.
OPL path seems to be /opt/webwork/libraries/webwork-open-problem-library/
WARNING: Forcing protocol to TCP due to option specification. Please explicitly state intended protocol.
Removing temporary files.
Done!
I also get a similar error as above if I try to run OPL-update without sudo -E to the full path:
Can't opendir(/opt/webwork/libraries/webwork-open-problem-library/OpenProblemLibrary/FileFetch.H1nftW): Permission denied
at /opt/webwork/webwork2/bin/generate-OPL-set-def-lists.pl line 62.

I have found a workaround that I am happy with given how seldom OPL-update is run.
Here is the upshot:
Thanks to all who chimed in, it was very helpful!
Here is the upshot:
- The OPL-update was not running correctly unless it was being run as sudo -E.
- Doing so created a FileFetch directory under the courses folder that could not be accessed by anyone other than root.
- Manually resassigning ownership and setting permissions to 755 resolved my errors.
- Since we only run the OPL-update script between semesters, I am happy to document the workaround and use it in perpetuity.
