# add unprivileged user for the apt methods
adduser --force-badname --system --home /nonexistent \
--no-create-home --quiet _apt || true
# Fixup any mistake in the home directory of the _apt user
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 1.1~exp10~; then
usermod --home /nonexistent _apt
This is due, as the message implies the inexistence of the user _apt
(which somehow is now required and not preexistent on the user list).
Previously all those folders where owned by root:root, now they are
ubuntu:ubuntu and the synaptic bug looks to imply that it should be _apt
user now.
