Bug Description
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 dev with apt 1.2.3 and on downloading a package with root I'm getting an error message like this example shows:
root@ubuntu:~/tmp# apt-get download nvidia-settings
Get:1 http://
Fetched 856 kB in 0s (1026 kB/s)
W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/root/
The file gets created for root:root with the permissions 0644 and if I'm trying to download the file with my normal user it works successfully while also getting the same permissions.
