I'm just a user and not sure about the discussion. But if this has
something to do with permissions, well I'm used to su to root and do
what ever I want to do. Things have changed, now I need to sudo to run
'upgrade-system', it does a dist-upgrade and runs deborphan with the one
command. But I can still su and run aptitude. On this system fully
upgraded and cleaned today.
