Public bug reported:
When either running the synaptic package manager, or doing package
upgrades in maverick, the update-manager icon would appear in the
notification area as a 'no entry' sign from time to time. It's tooltip
states:
"
An error occurred. Please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or
apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: ' Unknown
Error: '<type 'exceptions.SystemError'>' (E:Opening configuration file
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99synaptic - ifstream::ifstream (13:Permission
denied))'This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies
"
Inspecting the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99synaptic, it has permissions
-rw-------, so clearly when synaptic creates this file, it does not set
the umask to a sensible value, and the current one 0077 is passed
through.
