Ubuntu failure with

[chrisvire]

I am using:
VirtualBox 5.1.28
Vagrant 2.0.0 with vagrant-cachier 1.2.1
VM: Ubuntu 16.04 (chrisvire/xenial64)
Host: iMac (macOS 10.12.6)

When I use apt commands (e.g. "sudo apt update"), I get the following error:

W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_xenial_InRelease' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

Hmm... I just tried it on my Linux Desktop as host (16.04) and I am getting a similar error:

W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_xenial_InRelease' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

The fix for me was to change the Vagrantfile to use _apt as the owner instead of vagrant:

  if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-cachier")
    config.cache.scope = :box
    config.cache.synced_folder_opts = {
       owner: "_apt",
    }
  end

Vagrant 2.0.1
Base Box: "bento/ubuntu-16.10"
Plugins:
vagrant-cachier (1.2.1)
vagrant-share (1.1.9, system)
virtualbox (0.8.6)

Error:

Hey, sorry for the silence here but this project is looking for maintainers 😅

As per #193, I've added the ignored label and will close this issue. Thanks for the interest in the project and LMK if you want to step up and take ownership of this project on that other issue 👋
