Debian Testing : _apt error install the CubeIDE . error 13, permission denied.

I'm getting this _apt error when running the 1.7 install script. Since it's a temporary directory created by the install script I cant do any chown/chmod. Is it something I need to worry about?

And... I solved it. The problem was it running in a Dropbox hosted directory. Dropbox does funny things with permissions! So I'll leave the Q here and mark it solved in case anyone else has this issue. Moved the install script out of DB and it worked fine.

I also have this problem with CubeIDE v1.10. And I am not using a hosted directory.

I tried setting _apt user into group root and that didn't help. I intend on using Segger, and I know from past experience CubeIDE and debugger setup is fraught. So I would like to see this install go smoothly.

I am using a VM for this Ubuntu 22, which I don't think would have any impact on the error.

STM32CubeIDE installed successfully

Anyone resolve this?

UPDATE: I found a way to extract the file and run it separately. Run the STM32CubeIDE install script with "--confirm" option, and then after the extraction, stop the script. Then find the deb file in the extract directory, and run it. I don't know if this will fix it, but at least Segger seems to be installed. Later I will find out if it works when I connect the hardware.
