Hello. During flash player update (on 10., May) I have had this error/message:

✓ W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/adobe-flashplugin_20170509.1.orig.tar.gz' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

It was on a fresh 16.04 LTS Release install. It seems, that there is an 'apt' (ver. 1.2.20) user (vide '/etc/passwd' file.) But, it seems that '/var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/' folder have bad permission, however:

[~]$ ls -la /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/
[...]
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root [...] partial

Should I do something about this? I mean, for example, use CHOWN(1) command to change an owner etc.?

Thank, best regards.
