I told it to do so,  and while that seemed to go okay for a bit at the end of the process I get a box popped up saying "An error has occurred".  In the box it says "W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file 'var/cache/apt/archives/partial/apt-transport-https_1.4.11_amd64.deb couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'.-pkgAcquire::run (13 Permission denied)

But then I looked,  and synaptic tells me that it _is_ installed in spite of that message.  So I tried apt-get update again,  and the results are slightly different.  A bunch of lines starting with Hiit:1, Ign:2, Hit:3, Hit:4, Get:6, Ign:6, Get:7.  (No idea why 5 isn't in there.)  This time I get a different error:

W: GPG error: https://download/virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian stretch InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not avaiolable: NO PUBKEY A2F683C52980AECF followed by a couple more lines the last of which refers me to apt-secure(8).
