Also in the last time I'm seeing often on an "apt-get dist-upgrade"
this:
W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file
'/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/libpython3.5_3.5.1-6ubuntu2_amd64.deb'
couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission
denied)
The permissions of the directory are this:
root@ubuntu:~# stat /var/cache/apt/archives/partial | grep 'Access: ('
Access: (0700/drwx------) Uid: ( 113/ _apt) Gid: ( 0/ root)

Title:
Downloading a package with root fails
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 dev with apt 1.2.3 and on downloading a package
with root I'm getting an error message like this example shows:
root@ubuntu:~/tmp# apt-get download nvidia-settings
Get:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 nvidia-settings
amd64 361.28-0ubuntu1 [856 kB]
Fetched 856 kB in 0s (1026 kB/s)
W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file
'/root/tmp/nvidia-settings_361.28-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb' couldn't be accessed by
user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)
The file gets created for root:root with the permissions 0644 and if I'm
trying to download the file with my normal user it works successfully while
also getting the same permissions.
