Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
When I try to install an application, I get the following error in the terminal.
DEBUG:AptClient
DEBUG:root:
...
DEBUG:AptClient
DEBUG:root:
DEBUG:root:hangup on <socket.
debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open /var/cache/
DEBUG:AptClient
DEBUG:root:
DEBUG:root:hangup on <socket.
debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open /var/cache/
DEBUG:root:
Everything works, but I don't think the error is a good thing to have :-)
Changed in software-center (Ubuntu): | |
importance: | Undecided → High |
Confirmed although I don't see "DEBUG" in there. This is what I get:
debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open /var/cache/ debconf/ passwords. dat: Permission denied debconf/ passwords. dat: Permission denied
debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open /var/cache/
The installation does seem to work though, what is this DbDriver supposed to do?
