Bug Description

Taken from https://github.com/astropy/astropy/issues/8783

KeithSloan commented:

I am trying to use astroquery to access GAMA Survey.

The supplied test is

    from astroquery.simbad import Simbad
    result_table = Simbad.query_object("m1")
    result_table.pprint(show_unit=True)

I get an error WARNING: Couldn't create 'astropy.units.format.cds_parsetab'. [Errno 13] Permission denied: ' /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/astropy/units/format/cds_parsetab.py'
Now I could use sudo but suspect there is something I should have done at installation that
should cause parsetab to be created somewhere other than /usr/lib

[...] Installed on Ubuntu 18.04 with

    sudo apt-get update -y
    sudo apt-get install -y python3-astroquery

    Setting up python3-astropy (3.0-3) ...
    Setting up python3-astroquery (0.3.7+dfsg-1) ...
