On my stretch system, the permissions for that file are 0644 rather than 
0600. Check what they are on your system and change them if necessary. I 
assume you know how to do that as you're apparently using 
stretch/testing (the _apt user only exists since apt version 
1.1~exp<something>, which isn't available for jessie).
