Ubuntu
update-manager package

package manager broken on one login

Asked by perlwonk

I'm getting this error message from the software updater. I get it on only one login::

"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:Opening /etc/apt/sources.list.d/private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_darwinia_ubuntu.list - ifstream::ifstream (13: Permission denied)"

I have no clue how to fix this. What can I try? Maybe delete the game from the other login and re-install?

Opps, sorry I didn't notice that the command got split up. Here it is again.
