** Description changed: A new minimal install of Ubuntu Server 24.04 has started giving a W message on completion of all installs: W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/<PACKAGE_NAME>' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied) This seems to be spurious, as on checking /var/cache/apt/archives/partial has correct _apt:root ownership, mode 700. I have set ownership on everything from /var/cache/apt down to _apt:root, but it makes no difference - the warning continues to be emitted on all installs, using both apt and apt-get. From widespread discussion I've found online, this seems to be a common issue with no obvious cause or solution other than to make root the sandbox user in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d, which seem to me to not be a solution at all! I agree that _apt should be used with reduced - privileges for downlaoading, but it seems that something in the changes + privileges for downloading, but it seems that something in the changes you made to implement this is broken. I'll attach my ubuntu-bug report here, as the machine which generated it is headless. Thanks - Colin + C
