Package: apt-file
Version: 2.0.8.2
Severity: wishlist
i generally run apt-file under my standard user account. however to run
an update, i need to switch to the root account. this seems rather
unnecessary since the apt-file cache could just as easily be stored in
~/.config/apt-file, rather than /var.
this is a request for apt-file to work without root priviledge.
thanks for the hard work.
