[Bug 1342838] Re: Apt indexes can expire quickly, cause failures

[Martin Pitt]

You'll see fairly clearly when the apt indexes are out of date and apt
fails to download package versions which don't exist any more. adt-run
could detect this in r/o mode and re-download into a temporary dir
instead.

Until then you can use the -w option of ssh-setup/adb, and --setup-
commands "apt-get update".

Title:
  Apt indexes can expire quickly, cause failures

Status in “autopkgtest” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  autopkgtest depends on apt indexes on the target being up to date.
  This can cause failures when the indexes change, especially when
  tracking a development release with frequent updates.

  At the least, I would request a small note when this error occurs that
  would inform the user to update the apt indexes on the target, then
  try running adt-run again.
