Public bug reported: On up-to-date Precise, using the "Reinstall previous purchases..." option in Software Centre causes files with wrong permissions to be added to /etc/apt/sources.list.d:
$ ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 142 Jan 29 15:04 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_beep_ubuntu.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 148 Jan 29 15:04 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_brukkon_ubuntu.list -rw-r----- 1 root root 150 Jan 29 15:04 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_memory-owl_ubuntu.list where I've fixed the permissions for the first two entries, and the last one is Software Centre's own. This causes crashes in aptdaemon, in apt-get, in command-not-found, and possibly others. Running 'chmod o+r' on the relevant files fixes these problems. ** Affects: software-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923390 Title: Software center creates private-ppa files under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ with wrong permissions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/923390/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
