Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.10-1 Severity: important Tags: confirmed Aptitude is often invoked using su or sudo for privileges to manage packages. These are not required when calling some other utilities, such as the pager (as in 'aptitude changelog') or reportbug, or creating and accessing user (rather than root) files.
Common practice to drop these privileges is to swap the real and effective user ID. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
