Bug description:
READ ME FIRST
=============
This is only a regression on a cosmetic level. Previous versions of apt did
not have any sandboxing whatsoever, so this means apt reverted back to that old
behavior.
update-notifier SRU
-------------------
[Impact]
Cosmetic. Warnings when installing packages using update-notifier downloading
stuff
[Test case]
Install flashplugin-installer with apt and check that the output does
not contain a message like this:
W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '...' couldn't be
accessed by user '_apt'
[Regression Potential]
It just chowns /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-
downloads/partial/ to _apt:root, there should not be any regression.
Original report
---------------
Recently we got new versions for synaptic 0.82+build1 & apt 1.1.3, but
now get that error when installing/upgrading some packages:
Setting up libc6-dbg:amd64 (2.21-0ubuntu5) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.21-0ubuntu5) ...
W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file
'/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. -
pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)
From nautilus, i'm seeing a /root/ folder locked (x on its icon) and
the folder is empty (no /.synaptic/ sub-folder or file), so the above
error.
oem@u64:~$ ls -l .synaptic
