The command is lowercase “chown”, without the “(1)”. The general syntax would be “chown ”. You'll normally need superuser privileges to change owners on system files and directories, activated by adding the command “sudo” before the “chown” (separated by a space). The “(1)” refers to which

Is the command "CHOWN" or "CHOWN(1)" ? Thank you, for the info on this particular error as I had fond that the chown command was some how to be used, Probably off topic here, but it would be a great help if you could answer. I've been puzzled by the (1)? My attempt at finding --h help or invoking

^ Setting the owner of the /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data- downloads/partial directory to “_apt” on my 16.04 box is what I did to get rid of the error. I believe I've occasionally run into a few similar messages about other APT “partial” directories scattered around in /var, too; in those

Steve: Yes, the sandbox user exists to protect people from bugs in our http protocol handler, ssl libraries, compressors, etc. Now, why do we have to write a line about that (I'd not call that noisy): First of all, we want scripts/programs using apt to also use sandboxed downloading. Without a
