[Impact]
Although calls to apt update are always executed as root from the command line, in some scenarios a user may call 'update' on a Cache as a non-root user. Even being a corner case, some test suites for python-apt did run into this problem, for instance.
For what we need (esm-caches and apt-news), only the root calls should be enough.
Being defensive here avoids errors in undesired scenarios.
[Test Case]
There is an automated test script under sru/release-27.13.2/ to make sure this is covered.
[Regression Potential]
No visible regression potential, as the check for root user will just ensure default behavior in all use cases. The change is only making the code more defensive, and will not cause impact in any other package by skipping the u-a-t updates. |
