AptCache stage cache fails if the current user can't read a file in /etc/apt
Metadata
Current evaluation
Fixed in canonical/craft-parts#379 (407d46eb): AptCache now ignores unreadable /etc/apt files, preventing restricted auth.conf.d entries from breaking stage caching.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: PR #379 was merged as commit 407d46eb, titled "apt_cache: ignore unreadable files in /etc/apt." This directly addressed the AptCache stage-cache failure caused by unreadable /etc/apt files.

Issue body
For example when I'm running `test_ant_plugin` it fails because of files in `/etc/apt/auth.conf.d`.
