  1. Fail and retry on "Some index files failed to download" 

    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.
