Hi *,

   I have a problem with apt-get.

   I try to get a list of all the .deb to be installed (with
   --print-uris), but I have to do it like root. I thought that if I add
a "-o Debug::NoLocking=yes" would make it possible to run it like
user. But I get this:

bash$ apt-get --print-uris -o Debug::NoLocking=yes upgrade
E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

bash$ ls -la /var/cache/apt/
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         1024 May 19 01:26 ./
drwxr-xr-x    7 root     root         1024 Mar 22 00:19 ../
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root        18432 May 19 01:09 archives/
-rw-r-----    1 root     root            0 Feb 23 00:04 lock
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      3114578 May 19 01:26 pkgcache.bin
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      2967658 May 19 00:35 srcpkgcache.bin

And I thing that it must be possible to get. Can someone help me with
this?

        Thank you.

        Sant
