Public bug reported:

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.
