Package: apt
Version: 0.7.22.2
Severity: minor
When I run:
sudo apt-get update
from a directory where root is not allowed to go (700 permission on NFS),
it prints this error message and I get a non-zero exit code.
E: Unable to change to /home/glisse/mail/ - chdir (13: Permission denied)
It looks like the update works nonetheless, and I can always run the
command from elsewhere, so this is very minor, but I believe it is still
a bug.
(despite what you can see in the config files, this is an up-to-date
testing system)

I just tried something similar:
I created an empty directory, changed into it and then removed it from
an other terminal. I then called "apt update" and it ran & finished
successsfully without any message about failing to change dir – which it
should have if it had tried, so I assume this was fixed and the meantime
and therefore I am closing this report.
Feel free to reopen if this can still be reproduced of course!
