[Lubuntu-admins] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads
OK, Ads20000. This bug is annoying. Nothing more. Yesterday another
newbie installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS after my recommendation. He was very
dissapointed seeing this message.
Ubuntu developers should understand that annoying bugs should be fixed
as fast as possible as Critical bugs. It does not matter that such bugs
do not result in data loss. Such bugs makes negative reputation of whole
Ubuntu. So they should be fixed.
** Description changed:
READ ME FIRST
=============
This is a cosmetic issue. The warning message is just that— a warning. Though the message comes up, there is no problem with the install/upgrade happening like normal. That said, feel free to ignore it. It will get fixed, but it's nowhere near as urgent as bugs that actually result in the wrong behavior rather than just a simple extra message.

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.
