Package: apt-show-versions Version: 0.22.4 Severity: wishlist If a strict umask in effect during cache file initialization, apt-show-versions creates the files without read permissions for normal users.
If a non-root user runs apt-show-versions, this happens: can't open /var/cache/apt-show-versions/ipackages: Permission denied at /usr/bin/apt-show-versions line 213 Probably the easiest way to fix this would be to simply set umask to 022 at the start of the program before calling Storable::store.
