Hi @jlumbroso, Please excuse my unexpected closing of this PR, I thought it was not relevant anymore after merging #16. If you are still considering this change, I will implement your suggestions, of course. This weekend I am a little busy though, I hope to get on it soon (next week probably). |

This should fix #4.
Since this issue hits me in about every month's time, I ran a quick research on the root cause (e.g. actions/runner-images#7048).
The downside of this solution is clearly that we rely on an extra package (
apt-spy2). That installation and the repository update take a few additional seconds to complete. But in my very personal case, the gained resiliency is definitely worth it.Log excerpt of an example run:
