Public bug reported:
Installation for a local deb file shows a notification message that causes a
lot of confusion whether the package has been successfully installed or not.
Steps to reproduce
=====================
- Download a package file (xxx.deb)
- Install the package file from command line "sudo apt install ./xxx.deb"
- A notification messages shows up at the end of the installation saying:
"Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file
'/home/fredli/harddisc/External/Nordic/nRF-Command-Line-Tools_10_12_1_Linux-amd64.deb'
couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)"
-> Expected no notification or warnings if installation finished
successfully.
It seems that this is only "Notifcation message" BUT it causes a lot of
confusion whether the package has been installed or not. The package
seems to be installed correctly from what I understand.
$ apt --version
apt 2.2.2 (amd64)
