Package: apt Version: 1.6~alpha5 Severity: minor Usertags: warnings I just installed some debs from a local directory using apt. After the install completed I got a warning about how the download was done unsandboxed because _apt got permission denied reading the files. This is because my home directory is 0700. I'm not sure that the sandboxing for reading files off the local disk is a useful thing to do but the warning definitely isn't a useful thing to print. pabs ~/path/to/debs $ sudo apt install ./foo.deb [sudo] password for pabs: ...
