Hi, I am using debian 2.2 with kernel 2.2.19 and am having the folling problem : when I log in as root and use dpkg or apt every thing works fine . But if I log in a normal user and "su -" to root the dpkg or apt gives errors as below. Could you please point me to what is going wrong and how may I correct it.
