rootdir generally expects a writable directory, but it seems like a nice

apt.Cache(rootdir='/') causes PermissionError
Status in python-apt package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
The apport test case test_run_report_bug_kernel_thread fails in my
schroot environment. My schroot environment has only one
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources file and no
/etc/apt/sources.list file.
Running following test script as non-root will fail:
```
#!/usr/bin/python3
import apt
apt.Cache(rootdir='/')
```
$ ./test
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./test", line 3, in <module>
apt.Cache(rootdir='/')
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 143, in __init__
self._check_and_create_required_dirs(rootdir)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 186, in
_check_and_create_required_dirs
open(rootdir + f, "w").close()
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '//etc/apt/sources.list'
