[Bug 1650870] [NEW] Could not initialize package information on Zesty

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Public bug reported:

Update-manager told me:
"An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
E:can not open /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_zesty-security_InRelease - fopen (13: Permission denied), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened."


(This might have occured when I pressed stop to abort downloading new package information (the "apt update" part))
