Nice find and thanks for the PR. What do you think of the other solutions in the different replies? Wondering if using apt directly to find out would avoid future behavioral changes. |

Somehow on my CI workflows, I was not seeing any
/var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin, which apparently is the case depending on which version of Debian/Ubuntu. This was resulting in job failures.This PR is based on an answer I found in https://askubuntu.com/questions/410247/how-to-know-last-time-apt-get-update-was-executed and should make this check more robust.
