This is still happening on that fresh wily dist-upgraded to xenial, even with the latest apt 1.2.3 and gcc 5.3.1-1

Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.21-0ubuntu6) ...
W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

The main issue sems to be that .root folder LOCKED, that disable to subfolder creation.

Is that locked .root folder expected ?
