Public bug reported:

If I run fdisk -l as a regular user, there is no output:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ fdisk -l
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

I believe there should be output that says something like apt does to
tell the user to be sudo.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-get install gaim
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

Also, i tried to put this bug under the package "fdisk" but LP says no
suck package exists, even though I searched for fdisk in the search
form.
