Re: resolving the “Warning: Download is performed unsandboxed as root … couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)” in a debootstrap'd chroot

… I've missed this more than once, so feel silly but the problem was the
permissions on the chroot directory not having read&execute for everyone.
So, it was resolved with …
# chmod 755 /srv/chroot/trixie
… run on the main system and not the chroot.
