Had to re-do the process several times and I changed this: "sudo rm

rm /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/*.*". Did the last
two commands several times and in the end
This works for me, YMMV

If this is a bug that could provide root hacking I would think it would be a
higher priority;anyway,after multiple efforts of deleting the installer and
reloaduing it, I still get the message "Can't drop privileges for downloading

The message is just a friendly warning for you that APT fetcher
processes does not run in full security mode, so a potential bug in e.g.

APT is not the cause of the issue (for some definition of cause). We
switched to running the fetcher processes as an unpriviliged user last

I get the warning (in yakkety) when installing flashplugin-installer
(see attached file). OTOH it's followed by:
Installing from local file
/var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/adobe-flashplugin_20160407.1.orig.tar.gz
Flash Plugin installed.
Setting up flashplugin-installer
Also happens for adobe-flashplugin updates. Full cron mail output:
