[Bug 1959748] Re: package information could not be initialized

[Julian Andres Klode]

Please sudo chmod 644
/var/lib/apt/lists/de.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_focal-
backports_InRelease to fix this.

If you can reproduce this reliably, please let me know. Otherwise,
there's nothing we can do to fix the underlying bug, as we can't analyse
it further, so I'm going to be closing the bug. We get about 3-4 such
reports per year I think.

** Package changed: update-manager (Ubuntu) => apt (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

  E:can not open /var/lib/apt/lists/de.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_focal-backports_InRelease - fopen (13: Keine Berechtigung), E:Die Paketliste oder die Statusdatei konnte nicht eingelesen oder geöffnet werden.

  "Keine Berechtigung" = Access denied
  "Die Paketliste oder die Statusdatei konnte nicht eingelesen oder geöffnet werden." = The packagelist or statusfile could not be read or opened.

  I am using this ubuntu version: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
  I did not want to perform a distribution upgrade
