[Bug 1826377] Re: images shipping /var/cache/apt/*.bin

[Julian Andres Klode]

Test script:

echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs)-proposed main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt update
apt install livecd-rootfs -y
cd /usr/share/livecd-rootfs
SUITE=$(lsb_release -cs) PROJECT=base ARCH=amd64 MIRROR=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ ./live-build/auto/config
SUITE=$(lsb_release -cs) PROJECT=base ARCH=amd64 MIRROR=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ ./live-build/auto/build


Disco-proposed looks fine - 2.578.1:

# ls chroot/var/cache/apt
archives


cosmic-proposed - 2.542.2 is OK as well:

# ls chroot/var/cache/apt/
archives


bionic does not build for some reason, failing with
mknod: /usr/share/livecd-rootfs/chroot/test-dev-null: Operation not permitted

but the change is the same, so it's highly unlikely to be different.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Images include  /var/cache/apt/*.bin because minimize-manual runs very close to the end, after the cleanup of those files is done

  [Test case]
  Ensure /var/cache/apt/*.bin does not exist

  [Regression potential]
  If this patch causes a regression, it would be a build failure; since it only turns off caching, there can't really be any kind of silent regressions.
