[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Can't drop privileges for downloading : _apt user not allowed
>From the Debian commit:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/apt/apt.git/diff/?id=78db351 which is
supposed to be a reworded less scary message:
-_error->WarningE("pkgAcquire::Run", _("Can't drop privileges for
downloading as file '%s' couldn't be accessed by user '%s'."),
+_error->WarningE("pkgAcquire::Run", _("Download is performed
unsandboxed as root as file '%s' couldn't be accessed by user '%s'.")
For the non techies (says the huge majority of Ubuntu(s) users), that new
reworded message is as scary as the first one !!!
David (maintener) should completly silence that warning for the common users,
and consider it only as an internal/debugging warning.

Benjamin, what you're seeing appears to be bug #1607535. (That bug report doesn't quote the "/the fonts/" URL directly, but it links to a comment that does. I have a bug report (bug #1575408) against ttf-mscorefonts-installer due to the "Can't drop privileges" warning, but am assuming that that was a specific instance of the more general bug described here, and so have marked my bug as a duplicate of this one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522675 Title: Can't drop privileges for downloading : _apt user not allowed Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in apt package in Debian: New Status in synaptic package in Debian: New Bug description: Recently we got new versions for synaptic 0.82+build1 & apt 1.1.3, but now get that error when installing/upgrading some packages: Setting up libc6-dbg:amd64 (2.21-0ubuntu5) ...

I only had that whily trying to install ttf-mscorefonts-installer The problem appeared after upgrading from 15.10 gnome-ubuntu flavour to its 16.04 LTS version (amd64) I solved the problem by downloading (manually) the 3.6 version of ttf-mscorefonts-installer from debian (https://packages.debian.org/de/sid/all/ttf-mscorefonts-installer/download). installing that package with gnome's software center (and probably also ubuntu's software center) works perfectly.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Can't drop privileges for downloading : _apt user not allowed
Check to see if you have an _apt user: cat /etc/passwd | grep apt _apt:x:105:65534::/nonexistent:/bin/false If you do, no need to add the user. Otherwise, adduser --force-badname --system --home /nonexistent --no-create-home --quiet _apt || true I haven't verified that it creates precisely the user necessary. If I remember correctly, /bin/false means no shell access so make sure the user created does in fact have /bin/false in passwd. Also it has no group (65534). That is it really. Finally check the directory situation: ls -la /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/ drwxr-xr-x 2 _apt root 4096 Nov 9 10:23 partial As you can see "_apt" is properly listed as the owner. If not, sudo chown _apt /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/ My system already had an _apt user, but did not have proper directory permissions. At least, I have to assume that this is a proper fix. If not, somebody more knowledgeable should be speaking up and sorting this out... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522675 Title: Can't drop privileges for downloading : _apt user not allowed Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in synaptic package in Debian: New Bug description: Recently we got new versions for synaptic 0.82+build1 & apt 1.1.3, but now get that error when installing/upgrading some packages: Setting up libc6-dbg:amd64 (2.21-0ubuntu5) ...

Michael and I don't have any different opinion here at all. You are complaining about root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl - which is owned by synaptics - not about the /var/cache/apt/archives/partial or another apt owned directory.
