Cleaning up Firefox bookmarks, I encountered this report again.
Apparently, apt developers don't want to see this as a bug, so don't
wait for a fix! To get rid of that annoying message, you should have an
`_apt` user (which probably you have) and change the owner of the folder
in question from
Is there a fix for this yet? It's still happening on Ubuntu 16.04 with
all updates as of 07/24/2016.

It's not just synaptic. Happens with aptitude as well. I suspect it's
a new requirement for a user named '_apt' which doesn't exist (because
it wasn't added).

In case useful, I have just done a fresh install of Xenial, followed by 'sudo

Is the system missing a user called _apt ?
Was it forgotten to create one?
Is this warning serious or can/should it be silenced?
Who corrupted my system? Can we still trust the system or should we just
install another distro, which doesn't suffer such?
Looks in any case quite messy AND it's an
Have this problem too, since I updated from 15.10 to 16.04.
Synaptic is not running, but the lock -file is still there:
randolf@ART-LT16:~$ ps aux | grep synaptic

After exiting from Synaptic, is it expected for the file
/var/cache/apt/archives/lock to be still there?

It's correct that it's a warning, but it is presented as an error. I get
a pop-up window that says "An error occurred".
I guess this is potentially a different bug as I see the same thing with
a warning about a weak digest algorithm similarly being presented as an
error.

There is no bug in APT here. There is not even an error. It's a warning.
In any case, this is synaptics fault, as that defines where to download
the changelog instead of using APT's changelog code.
