Could the text be changed from 'Updating cache' to 'Updating local cache' or do not show the '#########'. I (and others I think) associate those '#####' with downloading (retrieving) data from a remote server. > > Well it is easy reproducable.

I don't have the traceback, that's a pity. Why is there no check whether the directory is writable because if this done with many packages, it starts to download (it at least) tries and will than tell for each package that the directory is not writavle. Besides that is time consuming. Please check the download directory permission first. > Since I can't write to the cache, I can't install.
