All servers are on AWS and facing the same issue on multiple servers. unable to update server. I have spent many days troubleshooting this issue. but did not find a solution. but at Last, i got this command echo 'APT::Sandbox::User "root";' >/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00temp it works and now i can update repository. Q.1 Why I have to run this command? anyone knows the exact reason behind this. Q.2 Is this a type of security hole? ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bionic dist-upgrade patch upgrade-software-version ** Tags added: dist-upgrade patch upgrade-software-version ** Tags added: bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1936299 Title: ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS apt update "Unknown error executing apt-key" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1936299/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
