I get the warning (in yakkety) when installing flashplugin-installer (see attached file). OTOH it's followed by:
Installing from local file /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/adobe-flashplugin_20160407.1.orig.tar.gz Flash Plugin installed. Setting up flashplugin-installer (11.2.202.616ubuntu5) ... So Steve is probably right; the operation seems to succeed. Nevertheless, the warning message is an annoyance, and a fix which prevents it from popping up is highly desirable IMO. (is the affected package possibly apt?) ** Attachment added: "flashplugin-installer_warning-msg-at-install.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/1570141/+attachment/4652478/+files/flashplugin-installer_warning-msg-at-install.txt ** Changed in: update-notifier (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: update-notifier (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1570141 Title: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/var/lib/update- notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/andale32.exe' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/1570141/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
