Bug Description
Binary package hint: aptitude
Bug 10537 seems to be back.
When I run `sudo aptitude something`, it unlinks and overwrites my ~/.aptitude/config and since it's running as root, it get's owned by root:root, and chmod 640. If then run as me, it can't read the file and uses default settings, and then replaces the config with a empty file.
