Some Googling of the error message throws up a bug report and some
possible workarounds.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptitude/+bug/1543280

https://askubuntu.com/questions/954862/couldnt-be-accessed-by-user-apt-
pkgacquirerun-13-permission-denied

Not mentioned that I saw, but one simple workaround is to write into a
directory that an unprivileged user can definitely write to. Try doing
it in /tmp for example. But you don't really have to, as this bug is
(for source installs) harmless as far as I can tell.

Regards, K.
