Michael and I don't have any different opinion here at all. You are complaining about root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl - which is owned by synaptics - not about the /var/cache/apt/archives/partial or another apt owned directory.
A directory inside your (well, root's) home directory is a different case altogether: It *should* be owned by you, not by _apt. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522675 Title: Can't drop privileges for downloading : _apt user not allowed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1522675/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
