For me, in Debian Testing, the message is:
W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file
'/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/PACKAGE' couldn't be accessed by user
'_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)
This IS a bug for, at least, two reasons:
(1) The Synaptic user encounters such an unhelpful message after the
download is complete;
(2) The message is not only unhelpful but also meaningless TO THE END
USER because there's no '/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/PACKAGE' when
the download in complete.
