Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.8-1
Severity: minor
due to using sudo, ~/.aptitude was not readable when I ran this
command as myself:
~$ aptitude show vpnc
E: /home/adrian/.aptitude/config - Unable to open %s for writing (13
Permission denied)
Package: vpnc
State: installed
....
It seems odd to say this rather than:
E: Unable to open /home/adrian/.aptitude/config for writing (13
Permission denied)

Not sure when these errors were fixed, but they seem to have been for
a while. They all relate to `%s' not being replaced with a filename
in permission denied messages.
