Basically it's a privilege issue with the user that is executing the
script. Whether or not it is something to worry about depends on
whether you are parsing the output of the script. Certainly it doesn't
look nice, so it would be nice to tweak the packaging so that it just
works without complaining for any user, but off the top of my head I
don't know the implications of doing this. We'd have to take a closer
look.
