Probably the directory /var/cache/apt/apt-file has the wrong permissions. It is created correctly on new installs since 2.1.0 but the permissions are not fixed on upgrades. Try if
sudo chmod og+rx /var/cache/apt/apt-file fixes the problem. Alternatively, you could also remove the package with --purge and then reinstall it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
