Some Debian Packages (man-db, the daily used aptitude) check, if their created files are owned bei the creator, which leads to errors like
  fopen: Permission denied
or 
  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?

Other programs of course refuse to run, if sensitive data is not properly protected.

These errors are not crucial, but annoying.
