Work around a serious bug in the newer upstream python apt implementation
that breaks when a rootdir != / is used in conjunction with the update method.
This unresolved bug describes the issue...
Bug #1875601: python-apt update() ignores rootdir for cleanup
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-apt/+bug/1875601
Extensive config overrides are required to get python apt to use the rootdir
correctly. In the case of the update method, there is no workaround but to
call 'apt update' outside of python and with sudo.
This fix applies to the '--reuse' subsystem which uses an independent apt cache
from that used by the rest of package builder and delivered in
git SHA f51fadda64.
Hopefully the upstream bug is resolved soon, and we can remove this ugly workaround.
