Cant install 5.16.6.382 on Ubuntu: N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root ...

I can't install the latest linux client (5.16.6.382) on Ubuntu 23.04.  The install seems to work until ending with this error:

 

N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/home/jima/ptmp/downloads/zoom_amd64.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

 

 I tried installing using "sudo dpkg -i zoom_amd64.deb' and it seemed to succeed but the zoom client silently exits (with zero status) immediately without displaying anything.

 

Does anyone know what to do?
