Package: apt
Version: 2.2.4

Trying to download a package using an unprivileged account fails with

% apt -o dir::cache::archives="/tmp/" -d install mg
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission 
denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are 
you root?

How comes dpkg has a say in what deb files I download?

Harri
