I had this error message a few times in a fresh Ubuntu-MATE 16.10
Can't drop privileges for downloading as file
'/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_sh' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. -
pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission non accordée)
aris@LinuxBox:~$ sudo ls -dl /root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 196069 avril 5 17:25 /root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_sh
User _apt exist but root own this directory
Is this the problem ?
Can we solve it by a `chown` command like this ?
chown _apt /root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_sh
