Public bug reported:
Permissions for directory "partial" are:
ls -lh /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/
insgesamt 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 7 04:21 partial
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 7 04:21 ttf-mscorefonts-installer.failed
A user with name "_apt" can't write to directory "partial".
That happened to me when trying to let msttcorefonts-installer download
its fonts:
W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/var/lib/update-
notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/andale32.exe' couldn't be
accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Keine Berechtigung)
