Veuillez signaler ce bogue du paquet « update-manager » en y joignant le message d'erreur suivant : 'E:Impossible de verrouiller /var/lib/apt/lists/ca.archive.ubuntu .com_ubuntu_dists_intrepid-updates_main_binary-amd64_Packages - open (13 Permission non accordée), E:Problem opening /var/lib/apt/lists/ca.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_intrepid- updates_main_binary-amd64_Packages, E:Les listes de paquets ou le fichier « status » ne peuvent être analysés ou lus.'
