Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: aptitude

Bug 10537 seems to be back.

When I run `sudo aptitude something`, it unlinks and overwrites my
~/.aptitude/config and since it's running as root, it get's owned by
root:root, and chmod 640. If then run as me, it can't read the file and
uses default settings, and then replaces the config with a empty file.
