I don't know when it changed over the years, but fdisk on Ubuntu 16.04 and
later gives me the following result:
$ fdisk -l
fdisk: cannot open /dev/sda: Permission denied
** Changed in: util-linux (Ubuntu)

Title:
fdisk -l as normal user should give output
Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
If I run fdisk -l as a regular user, there is no output:
freddy@freddy-testing:~$ fdisk -l
freddy@freddy-testing:~$
I believe there should be output that says something like apt does to
tell the user to be sudo.
freddy@freddy-testing:~$ apt-get install gaim
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
Also, i tried to put this bug under the package "fdisk" but LP says no
suck package exists, even though I searched for fdisk in the search
form.
