Package: apt Version: 2.1.10 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: j...@joshtriplett.org
apt creates /var/cache/apt/archives/partial and /var/lib/apt/lists/partial with mode 0700. An old changelog entry from 2014 mentions doing so, but I haven't found any explanation why these directories couldn't be (for instance) 0755. If there's a specific reason why these directories need to prevent world-readability, I'd love to see documentation of that. If there isn't (or isn't anymore), I'd love to see those directories become 0755. Thanks, Josh Triplett
