Comment 1 Honza Silhan 2015-06-30 09:35:01 UTC
Thanks for the report. `repository-packages` subcommands should have separate root user demands. (they actually have on the code level - the bug is somewhere else)

no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
