This seems to be a simple permission problem. The user is not allowed to read /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/90ubuntu-advantage
So instead of: apt-get source --only-source intel-microcode/trusty use: sudo apt-get source --only-source intel-microcode/trusty If you need to run it as a user fix the permissions of /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/90ubuntu-advantage Example: sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/90ubuntu-advantage -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1904068 Title: apt(-get) source fails to use credentials from /etc/apt/auth.conf(.d) Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have configured apt-src access to the private ESM PPAs via entries in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-security.list as follows: deb-src https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-esm/esm-infra- security/ubuntu trusty main and then added credentials as follows to /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/ubuntu- security.conf: machine private-ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-esm/esm-infra-security/ubuntu login alexmurray password XXXXXXXX Running apt-get update then succeeds - but if I then try and run `apt- get source` to download from the PPA it fails: $ apt-get source --only-source intel-microcode/trusty Reading package lists...
