Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: synaptic
If I run Synaptic (0.62.5ubuntu1 on Jaunty) without root privilegies,
just after starting it I get the following error in the terminal
(without crash, though, the interface remains usable):
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/update-apt-xapian-index", line 518, in <module>
lockfd = os.open(XAPIANDBLOCK, os.O_RDWR | os.O_CREAT)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/apt-xapian-index/update-lock'
Error in sys.excepthook:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport_python_hook.py", line 85, in
apport_excepthook
os.O_WRONLY|os.O_CREAT|os.O_EXCL), 'w')
OSError: [Errno 17] File exists:
'/var/crash/_usr_sbin_update-apt-xapian-index.1000.crash'
Original exception was:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/update-apt-xapian-index", line 518, in <module>
lockfd = os.open(XAPIANDBLOCK, os.O_RDWR | os.O_CREAT)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/apt-xapian-index/update-lock'
-------------------------------------------------------------------
If you can't reproduce this on an up to date Jaunty installation, feel
free to close the bug. My system is a bit messed up (upgrade from
Intrepid didn't realy work good and I've already had other weird stuff
happen), so this may only be affecting me.
