On Debian I get messages like this when the download process is completed:

W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/PACKAGE' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

However, after I close the dialog, I can update the packages. Of course PACKAGE isn't there after it's downloaded completely. Why Synaptic searches for it in that folder, I don't know.
