Public bug reported: After i select the error, there are options to retry for updates and also an option to open the Package Manager. If i select the option to open the Package Manager, there is an Ubuntu error crash. I select "send the error", and then the error cannot be reported because of var/lib/apt/lists/dl.winehq.org_wine-builds_ubuntu_dists_focal_InRelease - fopen (13: Permission denied), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
The initial error (which is displayed in the popup from the tray icon is something like the aforementioned error, if not the same). Doing ll command on the /var/lib/apt/lists directory shows that almost all files are owned by root:root. The following exceptions are owned by _apt:root: auxfiles/ dl.winehq.org_wine-builds_ubuntu_dists_focal_InRelease partial/ ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: apt 2.0.2ubuntu0.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-52.57-lowlatency 5.4.65 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-52-lowlatency x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.8 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip Date: Wed Oct 21 13:01:23 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-02-08 (255 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 19.10 "Eoan Ermine" - Release amd64 (20191017) SourcePackage: apt UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to focal on 2020-04-20 (183 days ago) mtime.conffile..etc.apport.crashdb.conf: 2020-05-15T09:41:35.683742 ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug focal ** Summary changed: - Red error tray icon - cannot check for reports and a crash + Red error tray icon - cannot check for updates and a crash -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1900826 Title: Red error tray icon - cannot check for updates and a crash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1900826/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
