[Bug 1656504] [NEW] Permission denied when running apport-collect

[nico]

Public bug reported:

I tried several times to launch apport-collect 1651520 but it failed
everytime:

The authorization page:
 (https://launchpad.net/+authorize-token?oauth_token=Xp4CFWJ01GvW7QPhMfq8&allow_permission=DESKTOP_INTEGRATION)
should be opening in your browser. Use your browser to authorize
this program to access Launchpad on your behalf.
Waiting to hear from Launchpad about your decision...
ERROR: connecting to Launchpad failed: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/nicolas/.cache/apport/launchpad.credentials'
You can reset the credentials by removing the file "/home/nicolas/.cache/apport/launchpad.credentials"

I've tried successively to "Allow nicolas-MS-7808 to access my Launchpad
account:" "for an hour", "for a week", "until I disable it", apport-
collect failed everytime with the same message.

Note that running:
rm /home/nicolas/.cache/apport/launchpad.credentials
return:
rm: impossible de supprimer '/home/nicolas/.cache/apport/launchpad.credentials': Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
