Fixing the user and group ownership fixes the problem: % ls -ld /var/log/apt-cacher-ng/ drwxr-sr-x 2 apt-cacher-ng apt-cacher-ng 4096 Nov 3 10:40 /var/log/apt-cacher-ng//
So why did it use usermetrics:systemd-journal ?? apt-cacher-ng has never been installed on this box before. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1512780 Title: apt-cacher-ng can't be installed on xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-cacher-ng/+bug/1512780/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
