Hi folks,
Using synaptic just now to install some programs and it ended with error:
W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl'
couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)
I still have synaptic open, is there anything I can/should do to correct this before (or after) closing?
Thank you~

Re: error while installing software packages
?? perhaps this issue is related to my other issue post from a couple days ago Forced to login twice (every time!)
as this morning login was different following logoff normal last night, there was no second password/login dialog box to pop up as has been the case since I added Mate DE to existing Cinnamon original LM19 install.

Re: error while installing software packages
Hello, redlined.
In case you should be worried that the directory /root/.synaptic/tmp/ might be filled with junk in the course of time, you may check with root privileges, what is in there. Here it is empty. So it seems as if root does not only create /root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl, but that root also deletes /root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl, when it is no longer needed.
The installation will have finished correctly, although the error message gets displayed.
Best regards,
Karl
In this specific case, you may ignore the complaint. The reason is: Synaptic executed some action as user root, instead of user _apt. As a consequence, _apt does not have the needed privileges of deleting file /root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl, which is owned by root.redlined wrote: ⤴Sun Oct 21, 2018 12:19 pmUsing synaptic just now to install some programs and it ended with error:Code: Select all
