Bug Description
[Impact]
* /var/lib/
ug.
* This prevents showing package information when the user is dropped to a regular user's shell in WSL.
[Test Case]
* The file should be world-readable
$ sudo apt update
$ ls -alh /var/lib/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 83 Sep 19 15:29 /var/lib/
[Regression Potential]
* The fix is very simple, only a chmod command to leave the file world readable. Regressions are ulikely.
