Package: apt Version: 1.1~exp3 Severity: grave # find /var/cache/apt/archives/ /var/lib/apt/lists/ -printf '%u %g\n'|sort|uniq -c 254 119 nogroup 2013 119 root 13 root root # grep _apt /etc/passwd _apt:x:111:65534::/home/_apt:/bin/false The problem is that those directories are shared filesystems. The user and group numbers on one system don't match those on the others. It so happens that mine are on a "sneakernet". I will do chown -R _apt:root /var/cache/apt/archives /var/lib/apt/lists at boot as a workaround. But then there is the more general case of e.g., NFS mounted filesystems.

Indeed. Also, its probably better to use a local proxy instead of NFS mounts and co, but anyway, the issue itself is also solved "by accident" as we now use _apt only for the partial/ directories, so what you describe actually works as before, so this bug can be closed even through I wouldn't be sure if it was a bug in the first place… Best regards David KalnischkiesAttachment: signature.asc
