Package: apt Version: 0.5.3 Severity: normal Hi, I have a problem with apt-get.
I want to get a list of all the .deb's that I'm going to install. So I do apt-get --print-uris dist-upgrade This works as root but not as a non-root user and I think it must be possible (I'm just asking for some output). I've tried with bash$ apt-get --print-uris -o Debug::NoLocking=yes dist-upgrade E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/ E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. but it doesn't work. bash$ ls -la /var/cache/apt/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 May 19 01:26 ./ drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 1024 Mar 22 00:19 ../ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 18432 May 19 01:09 archives/ -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Feb 23 00:04 lock -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3114578 May 19 01:26 pkgcache.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2967658 May 19 00:35 srcpkgcache.bin Thanks.
