** Description changed:
Recently we got new versions for synaptic 0.82+build1 & apt 1.1.3, but
now get that error when installing/upgrading some packages:
Setting up libc6-dbg:amd64 (2.21-0ubuntu5) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.21-0ubuntu5) ...
W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file
'/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. -
pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)
From nautilus, i'm seeing a /root/ folder locked (x on its icon) and the
folder is empty (no /.synaptic/ sub-folder or file), so the above error.
+
+ =======================================================================
+ The real problem is : there is _apt user on the system (see #808802 MV
comments)
+
+ grep -B2 _apt /var/lib/dpkg/info/apt.postinst
+
+ # add unprivileged user for the apt methods
+ adduser --force-badname --system --home /nonexistent \
+ --no-create-home --quiet _apt || true
+
+ # Fixup any mistake in the home directory of the _apt user
+ if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 1.1~exp10~; then
+ usermod --home /nonexistent _apt
