Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
From: Samuel Tardieu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: apt: Wrong diagnostic, could be better
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
X-Mailer: bug 3.1.7
Package: apt
Version: 0.1.9
Severity: wishlist
By mistake, I just tried to run "apt-get install xxx" from my account instead
of from root account. The error message I got from apt-get was:
E: Could not open lock file /var/cache/apt/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Couldn't lock the cache dir, /var/cache/apt/ another process is using it
Of course, this is only due to the fact that I used the wrong UID to do this.
The error message could mention this.
Best regards.
