Not sure where the change took place, wheezy is 2.20, I'm look at 2.25 right
now on grm(rebuild my other system right now)l and there has been changes.
Not sure why they changed it. Even the man page states you have to be root
to update the cache. fsr is reporting the same issue. You are correct on
wheezy it does appear to work.
