Package: apt Version: 0.5.4 Severity: normal I believe it should be normal usage for a user (as opposed to root) to run "apt-get source". This command fails because the files /var/lib/apt/lists/* are readable only by root. Manually changing permission on the files allows the command to run properly. I believe the files should be world readable by default. After all, the information in these files come from public sources that a user can access in other ways.
