The Debian maintainer marked that as wontfix for apt, that should be
handled by the client
"Unreadable sources.list files are an unsupported mode of operation
and will not be supported in neither APT nor python-apt (which
directly calls the functions from APT).
Authentication data should not be stored in sources.list files,
but in a netrc file. Using that, there's no need for unreadable
sources.list files.
If you cannot read a sources.list file, the state would be
inconsistent."

Title:
oneconf crashes if one apt list file is unreadable
Status in oneconf package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in python-apt package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
oneconf-service will crash if one of the files in
`/etc/apt/sources.list.d` is unreadable (for example because it has
been created using sudo and umask 077).
In my case this is the error message
