With Luna 4.4.0 running, I select the Help:Check for Updates option and am shown a list of updates, which are all checked except the one for Luna 4.4.1.
I hit "Select All" and try to update. It fails with this message:
An error occurred while uninstalling
session context was:(profile=epp.package.standard, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Uninstall, operand=[R]org.eclipse.platform_root 4.4.0.v20140606-1558 --> null, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.natives.actions.CleanupzipAction).
Backup of file /opt/eclipse-luna/notice.html failed.
File that was copied to backup could not be deleted: /opt/eclipse-luna/notice.html
I tried again, leaving the 4.4.1 update unchecked, and all went well. So I tried again, and this time 4.4.1 was the only displayed update, and it failed again with the same problem.
The offending file "/opt/eclipse-luna/notice.html" appears to be an XML file containing the Eclipse user agreement.

Whoa, OK, this time it worked! The secret sauce:
In Terminal, run gksudo
Tell it to run /opt/eclipse-luna/eclipse [or whatever] as root
Run the update.
Don't know why it didn't work before. Thanks for help. I will say that the Eclipse documentation could be a bit more informative about this. I've never had any problems of this sort with the Mac version of Eclipse.
