So having those lines removed gives you MORE errors?

I don't think so. As I stated, the chmod(): Operation not permitted are probably caused my SELinux settings and can be ignore. I was working quickly and didn't spend to much time on SELinux context settings.

It was been eons since I've done ...

No problem. Just trying to contribute to a smooth release of phpBB 3.3.4.

A fresh 3.3.4-RC1 install with the lines removed from install/app.php was generally successful on my CentOS 7.9 (PHP 8.0.3) server.

There are a few phpBB debug messages. [phpBB Debug] "chmod(): Operation not permitted" in ...

Two data points to report using my localhost testing environment and following the steps in https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3.3/ug/upgradeguide/update_full/
