  This is only a regression on a cosmetic level. Previous versions of apt did 
not have any sandboxing whatsoever, so this means apt reverted back to that old

  Cosmetic. Warnings when installing packages using update-notifier downloading

  [Test case]

  Install flashplugin-installer with apt and check that the output does
  not contain a message like this:

  W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '...' couldn't be
  accessed by user '_apt'

  [Regression Potential]

  It just chowns /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-
  downloads/partial/ to _apt:root, there should not be any regression.

  Recently we got new versions for synaptic 0.82+build1 & apt 1.1.3, but
  now get that error when installing/upgrading some packages:

  Setting up libc6-dbg:amd64 (2.21-0ubuntu5) ...

  W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file

  From nautilus, i'm seeing a /root/ folder locked (x on its icon) and
  the folder is empty (no /.synaptic/ sub-folder or file), so the above
  error.

[Rovano]

W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file
'/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. -
pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

  This is only a regression on a cosmetic level. Previous versions of apt did 
not have any sandboxing whatsoever, so this means apt reverted back to that old

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[Julian Andres Klode]

It's not really. I've reworded it so that it's more clear. It's
important to realize that this is not a regression in functionality, it
works the same way as before, you just get a warning because new
security features (which are arguably fairly incomplete) could not be
used.

** Description changed:

  READ ME FIRST
  =
- This is a cosmetic issue. The warning message is just that— a warning. Though 
the message comes up, there is no problem with the install/upgrade happening 
like normal. That said, feel free to ignore it. It will get fixed, but it's 
nowhere near as urgent as bugs that actually result in the wrong behavior 
rather than just a simple extra message.

It is possible to remove the "cosmetic issue" expression? It is a
subjective statement.

[Q. Haas]

Seeing this in the Ubuntu 18.04 ppc64le docker image when doing an `apt-
get install -y /root/MY_DEB_FILE.deb`, appears harmless, and doesn't
occur if I move the deb to /tmp before installing.

I'm also seeing the "W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as
file '/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_sh' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'.
- pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)" error. This is actually a
fairly new thing, within the last few weeks. I'm on Linux Mint 19.2
(based on Ubuntu 18.04). Is there a fix yet?

  This is a cosmetic issue. The warning message is just that— a warning. Though 
the message comes up, there is no problem with the install/upgrade happening 
like normal. That said, feel free to ignore it. It will get fixed, but it's 
nowhere near as urgent as bugs that actually result in the wrong behavior 
rather than just a simple extra message.

  Cosmetic. Warnings when installing packages using update-notifier downloading 
stuff

  [Test case]

  Install flashplugin-installer with apt and check that the output does
  not contain a message like this:

  W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '...' couldn't be
  accessed by user '_apt'

  [Regression Potential]

  It just chowns /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-
  downloads/partial/ to _apt:root, there should not be any regression.

  Recently we got new versions for synaptic 0.82+build1 & apt 1.1.3, but
  now get that error when installing/upgrading some packages:

  Setting up libc6-dbg:amd64 (2.21-0ubuntu5) ...

  W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file

  From nautilus, i'm seeing a /root/ folder locked (x on its icon) and
  the folder is empty (no /.synaptic/ sub-folder or file), so the above
  error.

  This is a cosmetic issue. The warning message is just that— a warning. Though 
the message comes up, there is no problem with the install/upgrade happening 
like normal. That said, feel free to ignore it. It will get fixed, but it's 
nowhere near as urgent as bugs that actually result in the wrong behavior 
rather than just a simple extra message.

  Install flashplugin-installer with apt and check that the output does
  not contain a message like this:

  W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '...' couldn't be

  It just chowns /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-

  Recently we got new versions for synaptic 0.82+build1 & apt 1.1.3, but
  now get that error when installing/upgrading some packages:

  Setting up libc6-dbg:amd64 (2.21-0ubuntu5) ...
  Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.21-0ubuntu5) ...
  W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file 
'/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - 
pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

  From nautilus, i'm seeing a /root/ folder locked (x on its icon) and
  the folder is empty (no /.synaptic/ sub-folder or file), so the above
  error.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[Norbert]

Installed update-notifier 3.168.8 from xenial-proposed.

I do not get any "W: Can't drop privileges for downloading" during
execution of

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer ttf-
mscorefonts-installer

But aptitude is still complains when getting changelogs from terminal
`aptitude changelog apt` or interactively by  (see bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752907 ).

Thank you!

  This is a cosmetic issue. The warning message is just that— a warning. Though 
the message comes up, there is no problem with the install/upgrade happening 
like normal. That said, feel free to ignore it. It will get fixed, but it's 
nowhere near as urgent as bugs that actually result in the wrong behavior 
rather than just a simple extra message.

  Cosmetic. Warnings when installing packages using update-notifier downloading 
stuff

  [Test case]

  Install flashplugin-installer with apt and check that the output does
  not contain a message like this:

  W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '...' couldn't be
  accessed by user '_apt'

  [Regression Potential]

  It just chowns /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-
  downloads/partial/ to _apt:root, there should not be any regression.

  Recently we got new versions for synaptic 0.82+build1 & apt 1.1.3, but
  now get that error when installing/upgrading some packages:

  Setting up libc6-dbg:amd64 (2.21-0ubuntu5) ...
  Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.21-0ubuntu5) ...
  W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file 
'/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - 
pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

  From nautilus, i'm seeing a /root/ folder locked (x on its icon) and
  the folder is empty (no /.synaptic/ sub-folder or file), so the above
  error.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[Brian Murray]

Hello dino99, or anyone else affected,

Accepted update-notifier into xenial-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
notifier/3.168.8 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: update-notifier (Ubuntu Xenial)
   Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-xenial

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[Norbert]

@Adrien Beau (adrienbeau)
you can propose your fix anywhere where you want.
All APT works as root, there is not security hole here. We can trust its HTTP 
transport.

By the way Ubuntu developers should understand that annoying bugs should
be fixed as fast as possible as Critical bugs. It does not matter that
such bugs do not result in data loss. Such bugs makes negative
reputation of whole Ubuntu. So they should be fixed.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[Adrien Beau]

Norbert, it is *extremely* inappropriate to edit the bug description to
publicize your workaround. Adding instructions to set the sandbox user
to "root" at the start of the bug description is quite simply awful.

I have reverted that change.

** Description changed:

  READ ME FIRST
  =
  This is a cosmetic issue. The warning message is just that— a warning. Though 
the message comes up, there is no problem with the install/upgrade happening 
like normal. That said, feel free to ignore it. It will get fixed, but it's 
nowhere near as urgent as bugs that actually result in the wrong behavior 
rather than just a simple extra message.

[Norbert]

OK, Ads2. This bug is annoying. Nothing more. Yesterday another
newbie installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS after my recommendation. He was very
dissapointed seeing this message.

Ubuntu developers should understand that annoying bugs should be fixed
as fast as possible as Critical bugs. It does not matter that such bugs
do not result in data loss. Such bugs makes negative reputation of whole
Ubuntu. So they should be fixed.

Norbert, making comments on bugs attacking developers for not doing
enough to fix the bug just annoys the developers, it doesn't help fix
the bug. Either take more proactive action as necessary (I don't know
what's needed at the moment) or be patient. Also check the readme at the
start of the description, it's cosmetic so it's Low priority by
definition, you can't change that unless if you fight elsewhere to
change the Importance descriptors.

  Recently we got new versions for synaptic 0.82+build1 & apt 1.1.3, but
  now get that error when installing/upgrading some packages:

  Setting up libc6-dbg:amd64 (2.21-0ubuntu5) ...
  Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.21-0ubuntu5) ...
  W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file 
'/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. -

  From nautilus, i'm seeing a /root/ folder locked (x on its icon) and
  the folder is empty (no /.synaptic/ sub-folder or file), so the above
  error.

I was happy until "You can easily fix that yourself".  For every Launchpad

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[Adrien Beau]

@Chelmite The double slash is equivalent to a single slash, so there is
not much of a problem here, just a very minor cosmetic issue. Synaptic
is certainly the one who told APT to download stuff in
/root/.synaptic/tmp, so it is the one which should have changed the
ownership to _apt beforehand. You can easily fix that yourself.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[Chelmite]

I'm getting this error on Ubuntu 17.10:
W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file 
'/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - 
pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

I have a user _apt, and it owns /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-
downloads/partial/

It looks like the problems are 2-fold:
1. The double-slash in '/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl' is equivalent to /tmp_cl, 
isn't it? That doesn't exist, and probably shouldn't. The double-slash should 
probably be a single slash.
2. Why is _apt supposed to be able to access anything in /root? If 
/root/.synaptic/tmp is a special case, then somebody or some program needs to 
change its ownership. Right now it's:
drwx-- 2 root root /root/.synaptic/tmp

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[Julian Andres Klode]

I'd say it's probably the synaptic one for Martin. We should change its
directory to be _apt owned too, though it's not really clear to me which
directories that are.

This should all be fixed in a hopefully near future with apt 1.6 or 1.7
opening these files as root and passing them down to the unprivileged
processes via a socket. That's not yet implemented, though I do have
mvo's branch from 2013 or so as a base.

On a system upgraded to 17.10, I see the correct permissions:

drwx-- 2 _apt root 4096 Nov  1 00:10 /var/lib/update-notifier
/package-data-downloads/partial/

Martin, are you seeing this also or do you see something different?

Still exists in 17.10? You might need to file a new bug, Julian will
know what to do here I presume, since he pushed the fix...

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[Rocdufer]

First, recall user _apt was added recently. Second, not all comments
appear to have the same original; some ones refer access rights, so some
comments suggest change owner or ACL of some directory. However, another
comments point out something that appears to be a parsing error over the
directory path. For example, in comment #94, the path:

 "W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file
'/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. -
pkgAcquire::Run (13: Keine Berechtigung)"

looks quite extraneous, because it has an empty directory name at "/tmp/
/tmp_cl".  The error I got is quite similar, except it says "/tmp/
/tmp_sh", but in my system I later found directory .synaptic/tmp was
empty.

For the first problem, I do no see user _apt included in group sudo. And
for the second, I remember that while doing a system upgrade I was
notified about a change in MIME types. This could be a trace for a
parsing error. Hope this comment may help to solve the warning.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[Julian Andres Klode]

Different issue, Martin, I only fixed the update-notifier task so far.

[Impact]
Cosmetic. Warnings when installing packages using update-notifier downloading 
stuff

[Test case]

Install flashplugin-installer with apt and check that the output does
not contain a message like this:

W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '...' couldn't be
accessed by user '_apt'

[Regression Potential]

It just chowns /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/
to _apt:root, there should not be any regression.

If https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#SRU_Bug_Template is the
right one:

[Impact]

Updating packets via synaptic.
Befor they start OR after fonoshing the installing, the errir appears.

"W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file
'/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. -

[Test Case]

Start synaptic.
Update the repositorys.
Go into the updates section.
Double click on every package, which can be updated.
Click on "apply" to install the updates.

[Regression Potential]

Don't know.

Martin, if you want to get this bug fixed please click on the link
Julian gave in #89 and rewrite the bug so it can be fixed in Ubuntu
16.04 and 17.04. It won't be fixed until that happens (and, ideally,
would be good if you could check it's working in 17.10, where it's
already been patched, as well). We know it's a problem but someone needs
to do the work to get it fixed (I don't feel able to sorry).

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[Julian Andres Klode]

I'll SRU update-notifier next week I think. Yes, we need a concrete bug 
description as described in 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

It should be easy to review anyway, but I want it to spend some time in
artful first.

Synaptic also needs fixing, not sure about that.

[Ads20000]

Julian we could just add it to the pile anyway? Happy to look up what
work needs doing to sort that out and do the bits I can (I'm not a
developer, but I know the bug description would need to be rewritten and
I could give that a shot?)

I think we should fix this, but an SRU for this seems a bit too much.
There's more important stuff pending since months.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[Norbert]

@nc-duenkekl3
>Watch out, most of the time, it is a security hole, to run something as root.
>Privilege escalation is not something funny.
APT was executed as root for years, is not it? 
Moreover root user is used as fallback or something (see 
https://git.launchpad.net/~usd-import-team/ubuntu/+source/apt/tree/apt-
pkg/acquire.cc?h=ubuntu/xenial-updates#n593 ). I'm not an author of this code.

Can you or maintainers suggest better solution?

Without sandboxing I get the following process tree (in htop):
USER  COMMAND
root  apt-get install ...
rootdpkg ...
root  sh ... postinst
rootpython3 .../package-data-downloader
root  apt-helper download-file ...
roothttp

So 6 processes are run by root user.

With sandboxing I get the following process tree:
USER  COMMAND
root  apt-get install ...
rootdpkg ...
root  sh ... postinst
rootpython3 .../package-data-downloader
root  apt-helper download-file ...
_apt (*)http 

So only http (1/6) is called by _apt user. Is it really safer?
apt-get, dpkg, sh, python3, apt-helper may be vulnerable too (5/6 likelihood).
Http process download file, not execute it. 
Downloadable file  
(/var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/adobe-flashplugin_20170616.1.orig.tar.gz
 for example) has executable bit disabled for all users ("-rw-r--r-- 1 root 
root" or "-rw-r--r-- 1 _apt nogroup"). 
As far I can understand its contents will be checked by hash before installing.


Aptitude is affected too. And bug 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=806595 was fixed in it.
Bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=813786 in apt was fixed 
too. 

So I think that we need SRU for apt and aptitude.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[Julian Andres Klode]

I don't think it's hard to fix at all, the directory just needs to be
owned by _apt instead of root. But if everyone just complains and does
not put any work into it, nothing gets done. There's more important
stuff going on.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[JohnWashington]

"It's not like you get hundreds of them each day."

True.  But even one such message puzzles and worries users.  360 users
have marked this bug, but imagine how many thousands don't even know to
look on Launchpad?

This report was filed 18 months ago.  I don't doubt it's hard to fix it
for systems that have been upgraded.  But this affects a fresh install
of 16.04.2.  Is it hard to make _apt the owner of .../package-data-
downloads/partial/ when Ubuntu is freshly installed?

I'm sure some of us reporting this bug come across as whiners, part of
the problem, not part of the solution.  Chippendale didn't send out
furniture with splinters, he was passionate about quality.  We're
passionate about Linux.  That's why we go to the trouble of reporting
bugs.

Just live with the warnings until somebody fixes them. Or give _apt rwx
access to /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial,
that's safe. It's not like you get hundreds of them each day.

Watch out, most of the time, it is a security hole, to run something as root.
Privilege escalation is not something funny.

[Ads20000]

Norbert and David, those sort of messages just clutter up people's
inboxes and annoy the people who get the messages, if you want to help
get this bug fixed faster you should probably work out what the issue is
by reading the rest of comments on this bug ticket and then contacting
people direct with your preferred solution or implement it yourselves.
Saying 'it's so bad this bug hasn't been fixed, ugh, someone really
should fix this!' does not help.

Got 
"W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl' 
couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)"
on Xenial.

Do you plan to fix this?

[David Favor]

This bug has been hanging round for over a year now.

While packages seem to install when this diagnostic emits, users always
have questions about this.

Be great if someone could fix this.

Got in Synaptic:
"W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl' 
couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)"

Newbies can be frightened of such behavior of Ubuntu.

[Julian Andres Klode]

I'm not sure why you are highlighting "_as root_" - of course as root,
it only happens as root, otherwise there is no way to drop privileges in
the first place (and not a huge problem of not dropping privileges - you
can only screw up your own stuff).

The same (or very similar) privilege issue comes into play when
downloading sources _as root_ under /root, such as with the command
'apt-get source linux-image-extra-4.10.0-19-generic'.

OK, I take it back, the synaptic (Debian) removal was OK, the bug does
not describe the syOK, thnaptic specific issue at all. But that could
have been explained in a comment, instead of just silently removing
stuff (and the other changes were wrong).

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[Scott Cowles Jacobs]

I am using Lubuntu 17.04, and when using Synaptic, I get the
"...unsandboxed..." message after a completed download.  One message per
download.  (Why only one?  The package I just downloaded for testing
purposes pulled in six or eight other packages, but only the last was
shown in the message.)

The message occurs in an error window: a large triangle with an exclamation 
markis shown, with the large text "An error occurred", then (smaller) "The 
following details are provided:"
So to the user, it does not LOOK like a one-line minor warning...
Synaptic does not refresh the package listing until after dismissing the window.


I now provide 3 examples of the detail provided:

W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file
'/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/libreoffice-style-
galaxy_1%3a5.3.1-0ubuntu2_all.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'.
- pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file
'/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio_1.10.4-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb'
couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission
denied)

W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file
'/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/speedtest-cli_1.0.0-1_all.deb' couldn't
be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)


/var/cache/apt/archives/partial   and
/var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial
both have Owner (Create and delete files) and Group (Access files) owned by 
Root.

/etc/passwd contains a line:
_apt:x:105:65534::/nonexistent:/bin/false
...so the user does exist, but is not assigned to the two directories

comment #43 says that apparently I should do a:
sudo chown _apt <...each of the two above directories...>

Should I?

How/when are these directories created in the first place?

Surely whatever created them should have set them up with _apt as
owner...?

I don't think I have received this message from update-notifier, but am
not sure...

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[daniel CURTIS]

Hello. I'm sorry Luigi Espenlaub. I should write "chown" in my post. Or
at least mention, that it's just reference to the man pages etc. Sorry
once again. I'm very glad, that You understand it now :- )

Best regards.

Ok, Thanks. Will definitely copy this into my personal command reference.
This will help solve a bunch of headaches until I can get Samba's teeth
un-clamped from my leg. Thanks again.

Thanks, looks like it answers questions I have not encountered yet as
well.  So many sites out there, and I had not discovered this one yet.
Thanks for taking the time.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[Travisgevans]

The command is lowercase “chown”, without the “(1)”. The general syntax
would be “chown  ”. You'll normally need
superuser privileges to change owners on system files and directories,
activated by adding the command “sudo” before the “chown” (separated by
a space).

The “(1)” refers to which section in the manual pages, or “manpages”,
the command is described in. A common way to get help on a command is to
run “man ”; for instance, you can execute “man chown” to
get the manpage on the chown command. (To exit, type the letter q; more
info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/man) The manual pages are
divided into numbered sections by categories. Occasionally, there is
more than one manpage with the same name, and the section number has to
be included in the “man” command to indicate which is desired (for
instance, “man 1 printf” gives the page on the shell command “printf”,
but “man 3 printf” gives the page on the “printf” library call for C
programming).

You can get a manpage on “man” itself with “man man” (or just read it
online here:
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/man.1.html). Under
“DESCRIPTION”, there's a list of the manpage sections and their numbers,
if you're curious.

Re: [Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[L. P. Luigi Espenlaub]

Is the command "CHOWN" or "CHOWN(1)" ?
Thank you, for the info on this particular error as I had fond that the
chown command was some how to be used,

Probably off topic here, but it would be a great help if you could answer.
I've been puzzled by the (1)? My attempt at finding --h help or invoking
the command using "chown(1)" always returned the "unexpected argument "(""
error. I haven't quite figured out (1)'s meaning or necessity.

Being new to Linux and Unix and a Mister Literal has left me wondering if
(1) or (2) is not part of the command, why is it there?

If that info has been lost in the Unix Halls of Time that's OK. As I
remember from my 8-bit days ( was a reserved character in the DOS world,
Same set in the Unix world?

As a wise instructor friend of mine said "Common sense is only what has
been commonly taught." I keep finding I missed that class at some point.

^ Setting the owner of the /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-
downloads/partial directory to “_apt” on my 16.04 box is what I did to
get rid of the error.  I believe I've occasionally run into a few
similar messages about other APT “partial” directories scattered around
in /var, too; in those cases, the solution was the same.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[daniel CURTIS]

Hello. During flash player update (on 10., May) I have had this
error/message:

✓ W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/var/lib/update-
notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/adobe-
flashplugin_20170509.1.orig.tar.gz' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'.
- pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

It was on a fresh 16.04 LTS Release install. It seems, that there is an
'apt' (ver. 1.2.20) user (vide '/etc/passwd' file.) But, it seems that
'/var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/' folder have bad
permission, however:

[~]$ ls -la /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/ 
[...]
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root [...] partial 

Should I do something about this? I mean, for example, use CHOWN(1)
command to change an owner etc.?

Thank, best regards.

  From nautilus, i'm seeing a /root/ folder locked (x on its icon) and
  the folder is empty (no /.synaptic/ sub-folder or file), so the above
  error.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1522675] Re: Warning messages about unsandboxed downloads

[Julian Andres Klode]

Steve: Yes, the sandbox user exists to protect people from bugs in our
http protocol handler, ssl libraries, compressors, etc.

Now, why do we have to write a line about that (I'd not call that
noisy): First of all, we want scripts/programs using apt to also use
sandboxed downloading. Without a warning, they would not know about it.
Optimally, they'd download files to a temporary name, verify checksums,
and only then rename to the final location.

Second: It also protects against permission issues elsewhere.

I hope that we can one day create the files as the normal user, and
simply pass an open file descriptor to the workers, that would get rid
of permission issues entirely. But that's not very likely to happen in a
reasonable future, as sending file descriptors only works via unix
sockets and some other fancy stuff we don't use for worker
communication.

These packages invoke update-notifier for the downloading; reassigning.

I don't see what value this sandbox user is providing, however, and why
apt needs to be so noisy about it.  Is this about not running the
network client code as root?  Clearly, anything downloaded is going to
be handled as root once it's there.

** Package changed: flashplugin-nonfree (Ubuntu) => update-notifier
(Ubuntu)

** No longer affects: msttcorefonts (Ubuntu)
