Public bug reported:
I am not sure which package this relates to, but after a recent upgrade
from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 LTS I have started seeing messages in syslog
like this:
17:29:03 python3[777789]:
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/uaclient/apt_news.py:207: Warning: W:Download is
performed unsandboxed as root as file '/run/ubuntu-advantage/aptnews.json'
couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)
17:29:03 python3[777789]: acq.run()
It seems to me that user _apt lacks write permission for anything in
/run, hence the problem. I realise the script is getting round the
problem by running unsandboxed instead but this message is ugly.
What I have installed that might be related (I do not have
ubuntu-advantage-tools):
