Public bug reported:

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
W: Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/InRelease  
Temporary failure resolving 'de.archive.ubuntu.com'
W: Failed to fetch 
http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/InRelease  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 ...
