The concern seems to be related to the Debian security policy regarding sandboxing. I found this thread that talks about it: [https://github.com/tutao/tutanota/issues/1565](https://github.com/tutao/tutanota/issues/1565).  
There is a workaround which consists of adding the following command to the /etc/sysctl.conf file:  
`kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone = 1.`

But it doesn’t seem great regarding the security of the kernel.  
So I made a` sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox` in /opt/Local

Everything works perfectly and Local is running properly now! 😁
