The bug/subject here is, that apt-get doesn't return a proper exit code, not, what else one could use to workaround the bug.
Saying, that update from one of all (i.e. 1+) sites is sufficient is like going to fly with a jet, where one of two engines is already broken before it starts. Making this decision for yourself is ok, but making it for all other passengers is IMHO irresponsible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1693900 Title: apt-get update should return exit code != 0 on error Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When running 'apt-get update' (e.g. on a container install post- install script), apt-get return with exit code 0, even so it wasn't able to "update" properly.
