Hi,
I have a problem with apt-get.
I want to get a list of all the .deb's that I'm going to install. So
I do
apt-get --print-uris dist-upgrade
This works as root but not as a non-root user and I think it must be
possible (I'm just asking for some output). I've tried with
bash$ apt-get --print-uris -o Debug::NoLocking=yes dist-upgrade
E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
but it doesn't work.
bash$ ls -la /var/cache/apt/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 May 19 01:26 ./
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 1024 Mar 22 00:19 ../
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 18432 May 19 01:09 archives/
