[solved by extra reload] Update of icon theme gives unsandboxed as root error

[Eadwine Rose]

Code: Select all

W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_sh' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

Just got the package numix-icon-theme available for upgrade, so in synaptic I tried to upgrade. No dice, the above came back.

Reloaded again, and things went fine.

Just letting you guys know.. maybe something needs fixing *shrug*

It's fixed. There shouldn't be an update.

OK.. then what did the package on my machine do? Upgrade, or install the same version, or?

Not that I use it, just curious. Version in Synaptic states: 0.3+872~20161114-1

There were some MX 15 versions that were accidentally added to the antiX stretch repo. They were the same as the versions in the main Debian Stretch repo, but adding "mx150" to the version made them look like an upgrade. We're trying to prevent the version issue in the future by using "~mx17". Adding the tilde symbol will make it be seen as a lower version, and hopefully ease in-place upgrades when we get to a Buster-based MX.

Thanks for the explanation :)
