Hello Praise,

This post,

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.
