Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: deborphan

Version 1.7.28ubuntu1.  I started editkeep as a normal user and began
selecting packages to keep.  Then I clicked OK and editkeep exited with
error "/var/lib/deborphan/keep: Permission denied".  This was a bad user
experience because I wasted my time selecting those packages and had to
redo the work again after I restarted editkeep using sudo.  Preferred
behavior would be for editkeep to exit immediately if user does not have
permissions or flash a message that user does not have write permissions
and then allow a read-only view.

** Affects: deborphan (Ubuntu)
