Bug#812511: apt-get download: "Can't drop privileges ..."

[Jakub Wilk <jwilk@debian.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 1.2
Severity: minor

I get a warning when "apt-get download"ing stuff as root:

# apt-get download nyancat
Get:1 http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable/main i386 nyancat i386 1.4.4-1 [13.3 kB]
Fetched 13.3 kB in 3s (3834 B/s)    
W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/root/nyancat_1.4.4-1_i386.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)
