I know this is unlikely to fail again, but you should probably check anyway given why you are introducing this change

Yeah, I just don't think this PR is the right solution. If you look at your original failing pipeline: https://github.com/DUNE-DAQ/daq-release/actions/runs/16244930712/job/45866367226#step:3:58, you'll see that it is already running in bash -e, so doing something like if [ $? -ne 0 ] is not going to catch this since we probably don't even return a failing exit code from apt-get install (or we would have bailed out earlier).

I have been trying to find some way to trigger this issue (GHA or locally), but no luck so far.
