Bug Description

prometheus-node-exporter-apt.service currently runs as the root account, and uses sponge to write the output into /var/lib/prometheus/node-exporter. This results in ownership of the apt.prom file belonging to root so it cannot be read by the prometheus user that runs the main node exporter process.

Turns out this was caused by a stricter umask meaning global read wasn't allowed on the file. Vanilla setup seems to work ok, so closing.
