Bug#866329: apt: sandbox warning when using apt install ./example.deb
Package: apt
Version: 1.4.6
The sandbox warning is unnecessary when apt is installing a local file
that shouldn't really be downloaded. Please don't show this warning in
that case.
sudo apt install ./gnome-getting-started-docs_3.24.0-1ubuntu1_all.deb
