fix(chroot): add Dpkg conffile options to prevent interactive prompts

[Grippy98]

Description

When a cached rootfs contains a modified conffile (e.g. ubuntu-pro-client's /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-esm-hook.conf), dpkg prompts during apt-get install. In a non-interactive chroot stdin is closed, so dpkg reads EOF and exits with error 1 -- causing the build to fail after 3 retries.

DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive alone is insufficient: the conffile prompt is driven by dpkg's own logic and is not suppressed by the frontend var when stdin is a closed pipe rather than a terminal.

Fix: pass --force-confdef and --force-confold as Dpkg options in the central chroot_sdcard_apt_get function so all apt-get invocations in chroot builds resolve conffile conflicts without prompting.

This resolves the Beaglebadge_resolute_vendor_6.18.y_gnome_desktop failure where ubuntu-pro-client and its 9 dependent packages all failed to configure because of this conffile prompt.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The chroot_sdcard_apt_get function in lib/functions/logging/runners.sh is updated to include two additional apt_params entries specifying Dpkg::Options::=--force-confdef and Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold, preventing dpkg from prompting about modified conffiles during non-interactive chroot builds.

Changes

Dpkg Conffile Handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Add force-conf dpkg options to chroot apt-get lib/functions/logging/runners.sh	Two Dpkg::Options::= entries (--force-confdef, --force-confold) are appended to apt_params in chroot_sdcard_apt_get to avoid interactive conffile prompts.
