Ref: Temporary fix - https://github.com/containers/podman/pull/11821/files#diff-f3866c83e5fdf3650df2ad5b9c0c18efaa71891d23675732cc931e90fd2b10faR261

  • Check if package is actually cached
  • Check if buildah CI has this problem
  • Consider removing --ignore-missing from podman & buildah CI.

Hypothesis: At the end of building VM images, the scripts wipe all the packaging metadata to help reduce image size. So at runtime, this necessitates a apt-get -qq -y update, but (obviously) this is happening later and so may grab newer package info. The result is, a subsequent apt-get install --yes --no-download --ignore-missing just skips the cached package, as it's not represented in the newer metadata.

Cirrus: Workaround defunct package metadata
e56c6bf 
During VM image build, a number of packages are downloaded but not
installed, since they may interfere with some testing.  Then at runtime,
where required, the packages are installed from cache and used.  This
mechanism broke, and is being investigated in
containers/automation_images#95

Cirrus: Fix defunct package metadata breaking cache
6542126 
During VM image build, a number of packages are downloaded but not
installed, since they may interfere with some testing.  Then at runtime,
where required, the packages are installed from cache and used.
However, between image build and runtime it's possible the repository
contents change, which will invalidate the package cache.  Since the
`--no-download --ignore-missing` options were used, the install will
fail.

Ref: containers/automation_images#95

Fortunately, when it comes to the docker packages, no other dependencies
are required and so `apt-get` isn't required.  Switch to using a simple
dpkg install command on the necessary files.  If this ever breaks due
to new dependencies, the list of files may simply be updated.
