Bug description:
[Impact]
There is no way for scripts to run apt update and be sure that it was
entirely successful.
We introduce a new flag, --error-on=any that makes apt update also
error out on transient errors.
[Test plan]
We have included a test in the test-suite in
test-apt-update-failure-propagation that ensures that warnings become errors.
[Where problems could occur]
If there's an issue some warnings for transient errors could become errors,
or worse I suppose it's possible but unlikely for errors to be reported as
warnings...
Since the new behavior is behind a flag, regression potential for
existing scripts is low if there is no bug.
[Original bug report]
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. E.g.:
+ apt-get update
Err:1 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease
Temporary failure resolving 'de.archive.ubuntu.com'
Err:2 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security InRelease
Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com'
Err:3 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates InRelease
Temporary failure resolving 'de.archive.ubuntu.com'
Reading package lists... Done

Temporary failure resolving 'de.archive.ubuntu.com'

W: Failed to fetch
http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-security/InRelease Temporary
failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com'
W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones
used instead.
It should be corrected to return useful exit code, so that scripts can
take the appropriate actions ...
