Bleachbit: Bleachbit crashes (OSError: [Errno 1])

[WPFilmmaker]

I don't know what causes the crash and I don't think it has been reported before.

When I start BB from terminal I get this when it crashes:

OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_jfi_ppa_ubuntu_dists_xenial_InRelease'
Error: apt.package_lists: Command to delete /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_xenial-security_universe_binary-i386_Packages
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/share/bleachbit/Command.py", line 84, in execute
FileUtilities.delete(self.path, self.shred)
File "/usr/share/bleachbit/FileUtilities.py", line 286, in delete

f = wipe_write()
File "/usr/share/bleachbit/FileUtilities.py", line 651, in wipe_write
os.chmod(path, 0o200) # user write only

Any idea?

I am on Lubuntu 16.04.3 BB 2.2 (and not ran as administrator).

By crash, you mean the BleachBit application window closes prematurely?

Please try experimenting with disabling some check boxes. Try disabling all the APT related checkboxes. The error message suggests BleachBit is trying to delete a system file, but it does not have permissions to do so. Do not wipe APT unless you are running with root/administrator permissions.

Let me know

@WPFilmmaker Have you had a chance to try my suggestions?
