APT doesn't error out even in the following case since it's a warning instead of an error. And it allows charms to move on without having a proper APT index and let them install unwanted versions of software for example. The apt_update part should fail if it's marked as fatal in such cases so that it can be retried or charm can raise it as an error to users appropriately. "--error-on=any" is supported for >= bionic. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1693900 Closes: juju#910 [w/o "--error-on=any"] ``` $ sudo apt-get update; echo $? ...

In scripting apt operations, adding `--error-on=any` to `apt-get update` is necessary to capture erros like "Some index files failed to download". Otherwise, charms move onto package installations with a stale index. equivalent to: juju/charm-helpers#911 ref: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1693900
