libpulse0 fails to fetch with apt (repo broken?)

Code to Cloud GitHub Actions
#1

Quite a few of my builds are failing to fetch libpulse0 which is in bionic repos:

Is the apt repository corrupted?

This isn’t a consistent error either, as re-running the action fixes this. But whenever it fails, it’s always with the libpulse0 package.

This happens frequently, here is another run that failed:

@vadi2 ,

Please try to add the " sudo apt update" command before the " sudo apt install" command to see if the problem can be solved.

- name: (Linux) Install apt dependencies
      if: runner.os == 'Linux'
      run: |
        sudo apt update
        sudo apt install pkg-config libzip-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libpulse-dev libxkbcommon-x11-0

The APT package index is basically a database that holds records of available packages from the repositories enabled in your system. I recommend you always update the package index before upgrading or installing new packages.

apt actually works on a database of available packages. If the database is not updated, the system won’t know if there are any newer packages available. This is why updating the repository should be the first thing to do in any Linux system after a fresh install.

That’s what we ended up doing and it works.
