Error installing dependencies on Ubuntu self-hosted runnner

[jasons42]

Running into a strange error when trying to install dependencies on a self-hosted Ubuntu runner.

sudo apt-get update runs normally but then it seems like apt-get cannot be found when running the install command.

I was able to workaround this issue by adding my own step to install deps, which should be running the exact same commands:

      - name: Install Chrome dependencies
        run: |
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends libglib2.0-0 libgconf-2-4 libatk1.0-0 libatk-bridge2.0-0 \
            libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libgbm-dev libnss3-dev libxss-dev libasound2 xvfb fonts-liberation \
            libu2f-udev xdg-utils

@jasons42
Thanks for your report. Can you reproduce it on GitHub-hosted Ubuntu runner? If it occurs only in the self-hosted runner, some configuration on.it would be wrong.

Facing the same issue with self-hosted runners, though if you notice @jasons42 logs, sudo apt-get update works right before the sudo apt-get install. How apt-get get missing right after it's being called?

Have the same issue. Have a dynamic self-hosted runners, so chrome has to be installed with every run. Will you investigate it ?
