Good day,

Thank you so much for the help.

I tried to "chmod 777" the .deb file before installing it. However, I am still experiencing the same issue.

Kindly find attached a copy of the text from the terminal after I tried this.

Kind regards,

Praise Matsekete

Hello Praise,

This post,

MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "secure-web.cisco.com" claiming to be https://askubuntu.com/questions/908800/what-does-this-apt-error-message-download-is-performed-unsandboxed-as-root

- indicates it is from a permission problem with _apt on the system (which may have been an Ubuntu bug/issue). One of the more innocuous fixes suggested there is to down protect or “chmod 777” the .deb package and then try to install it. Other fixes involve changing the permissions of system files. I have not seen that error testing the install in a newly made Ubuntu 22 docker container.

- R.
