Comment 3 for bug 1255428

Hi thanks for your feedback [esp re my slider ;-)].

I tried doing what you asked but I got the following errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/apport/apport-kde", line 522, in <module>
    sys.exit(UserInterface.run_argv())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 656, in run_argv
    return self.run_update_report()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 540, in run_update_report

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apport/packaging_impl.py", line 120, in get_version
    pkg = self._apt_pkg(package)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apport/packaging_impl.py", line 113, in _apt_pkg
    return self._cache()[package]
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apport/packaging_impl.py", line 81, in _cache
    self._apt_cache = apt.Cache(progress, rootdir='/')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 101, in __init__
    self._check_and_create_required_dirs(rootdir)

    open(rootdir + f, "w").close()
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '//etc/apt/sources.list'

Note that I do not have a /etc/apt/sources.list on my system since I put in individual .list for my local repos, my preferred net repos etc files under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/.

Please tell me how to go ahead. Do you want me to temporarily rename one of them to /etc/apt/sources.list?
