Hello Geo Pe, 
This is not an error but a warning (W: mean warning).
You should check the permission of
/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/

My apologies. I literally "hate" when I have to respond to myself as
fast as I send an email. An important detail I left off is that this
occurs for me while using apt-get.

And typo correction attached below where "directly" should have been
"directory". *oops!* :)

I've received that warning in the past. There obviously could be
multiple causes for seeing it. In my case and purely discovered by
accident, the warning occurred because I had symlinked to
'/var/cache/apt/archives which was on an external hard drive.

No matter where the target '/var/cache/apt/archives/ was placed in a
data'esque hierarchy on that external hard drive, I still received
that error. Permissions *appeared* to be correct, but that also didn't
seem to make a difference.

As a matter of record as long as the topic is here, that symlinking
also caused my debootstrap chroot user "root" to have an identity
crisis where it kept yelling, "I Have No Name!"

As soon as I removed the symlink to '/var/cache/apt/archives/ and
moved files back in the primary hierarchy, debootstrap's chroot user
root found itself again as "root". If I'm remembering correctly, that
instance was ultimately traced back to my missing a similar
permissions denied warning early on in debootstrap. That warning
disappeared immediately upon removal of the package archives directly
symlink.

Hope this some day helps somehow..

Cindy :)
