Hi Vincent,

Package: apt-show-versions
Version: 0.22.15
Severity: normal

When running "apt-show-versions -u" in a cron script, I got

Failed to open file 
/var/lib/apt/lists//debug.mirrors.debian.org_debian-debug_dists_stable-debug_InRelease
 for reading: Permission denied

I don't know why could cause the error, but the pathname with "//"
is incorrect.

Which user does the cronjob run with?

// in the path should not be a problem. Can you do a 'ls -l /var/lib/apt/lists/' to see the permissions?
