Bug Description
'apt' is a easy-to-use wrapper around some 'apt-get' and also 'apt-cache' functions. The idea here is make 'apt' a even more useful tool allowing installation of .deb packages directly, creating a wrap[per around 'dpkg' command as well, allowing a command like this possible:
$ sudo apt install mylovedpackage.deb

That works since 16.04, but a path needs to start with ./ or / to differentiate it from a package name.
