Bug#962310: chmod 0700 warning messages appears to be incorrect
Package: apt
Version: 2.1.6
Severity: minor
I noticed, due to the way I have apt setup, that it complains about chmoding
some files. I was looking in the source for a way to bypass this message
and noticed that 0700 is hard coded in the warning.
In apt-pkg/acquire.cc:SetupAPTPartialDirectory() on lines 112 and 119 is
where I noticed the message. The chown in the if statement shows it using a
variable named mode. The warning message should reflect the mode it was
trying to set.
