Cleaning up Firefox bookmarks, I encountered this report again.
Apparently, apt developers don't want to see this as a bug, so don't
wait for a fix! To get rid of that annoying message, you should have an
`_apt` user (which probably you have) and change the owner of the folder

It's not just synaptic. Happens with aptitude as well. I suspect it's
a new requirement for a user named '_apt' which doesn't exist (because
it wasn't added).

In case useful, I have just done a fresh install of Xenial, followed by 'sudo
apt-get install synaptic'. The following error arose when trying to install

Is the system missing a user called _apt ?
Was it forgotten to create one?
Is this warning serious or can/should it be silenced?
Who corrupted my system? Can we still trust the system or should we just
