[Bug 999810] Re: apt-get fails to simulate a upgrade, when running as non-root user, fix available in debian package

[David Kalnischkies]

The patch for the debian bugreport is (obviously) in ubuntu, too. You can easily confirm this by looking at the version of apt in ubuntu (whichever release you are using). It is well past 0.7.15 - as long as you are not on a years old no longer supported release of ubuntu, but i doubt that.
$ apt-cache policy apt
(the maintainers of apt in ubuntu and debian are more or less the same, so patches for bugs are usually not present in only one of them)

You will not come around telling us the actual error message you are
seeing and what you mean with "breaks upgrading via cron-apt". The more
details you include the more likely it is that someone is able to help
you.
