I started to get this error message, when I run my 20.04 Ubuntu.

Vivaldi repository permission denied error

When I run sudo apt-get update + sudo apt-get upgrade, I get 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded - but still showing the same error message when I restart.

How do I fix this?

  • You’re going to want to throw a sudo in front of that command: sudo apt update –  Dec 27 '20 at 08:10
  • @Matigo yes, when I do that, then 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded but I still get the error when I restart. – krenkz Dec 27 '20 at 08:18
  • @karel That doesn't address the original error in the image – Martin Thornton Dec 28 '20 at 12:55
  • The error in the linked duplicate question is W: Problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin - RemoveCaches (13: Permission denied) which is the same as the error in this question. – karel Dec 28 '20 at 12:57

Following the advice from the Vivaldi forum, I just deleted the file & then sudo apt update; the error message after restart has not re-appeared, so for now I leave it as solved.
