crashes when checking for missing dependencies

[whyitfor]

The error message you post -- PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'apktool' -- seems to indicate a permission error when running apktool, and not a problem with the command not existing.

Is it possible that what was encountered here was a permission error?

I just tried recreating with the python:3.7 docker image and am unable to -- it skips ApkUnpacker fine:

$ docker run -it python:3.7 bash

It looks like their was a directory owned by another user on my PATH that I don't have access to. Perhaps ofrak could catch permission errors when searching for dependencies and output a warning?

@hikir1, is this issue addressed with #432 and #433? Is there any remaining work?

The test isn't working for some reason and I haven't had much time to figure out why.
