I'm getting this error on Ubuntu 17.10: W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)
I have a user _apt, and it owns /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data- downloads/partial/ It looks like the problems are 2-fold: 1. The double-slash in '/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl' is equivalent to /tmp_cl, isn't it? That doesn't exist, and probably shouldn't. The double-slash should probably be a single slash. 2. Why is _apt supposed to be able to access anything in /root? If /root/.synaptic/tmp is a special case, then somebody or some program needs to change its ownership. Right now it's: drwx------ 2 root root /root/.synaptic/tmp -- 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: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1522675/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
