Afterwards the following directory and file were not readable by the _apt user when running update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree: /tmp/pepperflashplugin-nonfree.XXXXXXXXXX /tmp/pepperflashplugin-nonfree.XXXXXXXXXX/etc/apt/pubring.gpg * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? /usr/sbin/update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --status * What was the outcome of this action? ERROR: failed to retrieve status information from google : W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file './var/lib/apt/lists/partial/dl.google.com_linux_chrome_deb_dists_stable_InRelease' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Keine Berechtigung) More information might be available at: http://wiki.debian.org/PepperFlashPlayer * What outcome did you expect instead? # /usr/local/sbin/update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --status Flash Player version installed on this system : 19.0.0.245 Flash Player version available on upstream site: 19.0.0.245 * Patch attached Patch pepperflashplugin-nonfree-with-apt-1.1.diff fixes the problem.
