  I think he was complaining about this:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.3-1), apt, sudo, perl

  ..in which case the appropriate thing to do is to file wishlist bugs
on auto-apt.

export AUTO_APT_CACHEDIR=/path/to/you/have/write/permission 

then you don't need sudo to run auto-apt update or search

isn't this duplicating auto-apt's functionality?

Yes but auto-apt uses sudo and sometimes (even if sudo in not
available for all users), users do not whish sudo to be installed on
their systems

  Doesn't auto-apt provide this capability?
