APT doesn't error out even in the following case since it's a warning instead of an error. And it allows charms to move on without having a proper APT index and let them install unwanted versions of software for example. The apt_update part should fail if it's marked as fatal in such cases so that it can be retried or charm can raise it as an error to users appropriately. "--error-on=any" is supported for >= bionic. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1693900 Closes: juju#910 [w/o "--error-on=any"] ``` $ sudo apt-get update; echo $? ...

The charm added an overlay repository to offer a newer version of the software on top of what Ubuntu archive offers (ovn 20.03 in Ubuntu focal vs 22.03 in Cloud Archive repository).
However, the following warnings were recorded but the charm-helper code allowed the charm to move o n and install the software with an old version using the default Ubuntu archive.
The expected behavior is the code should error out there and let the helper or charm retry the operation or simply wait an error resolution with an human intervention.
