Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.10-1
Severity: minor

I (script, actually) want to run query-only actions of aptitude, such as
'search', as 'nobody' user (rationale: prevent aptitude from locking the
/var/lib/dpkg/lock (and fail then) when other instances of apt or dpkg
are running). 

But now aptitude tries to create /nonexistent/.aptitude when runned as
'nobody' and obviously fails.
