Failed apt-get update prevents node being installed from NodeSource PPA

[emremrah]

• Version:
  v10.19.0
• Platform:
  Linux horizon 5.4.0-58-generic transform streams: unpipe or ignore future writes after .push(null) #64-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 9 08:16:25 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

What steps will reproduce the bug?

When trying to install a specific version by adding PAA, because of Node is trying to run apt-get update automatically, if apt-get update fails in any way, the installation is being interrupted.

>>> curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x -o nodesource_setup.sh
>>> sudo bash nodesource_setup.sh

However, if I comment out the apt-get update commands in nodesource_setup.sh the output is:

## Installing the NodeSource Node.js 14.x repo...


## Populating apt-get cache...


## Confirming "focal" is supported...

+ curl -sLf -o /dev/null 'https://deb.nodesource.com/node_14.x/dists/focal/Release'

## Adding the NodeSource signing key to your keyring...

+ curl -s https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | apt-key add -
OK

## Creating apt sources list file for the NodeSource Node.js 14.x repo...

+ echo 'deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_14.x focal main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
+ echo 'deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node_14.x focal main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list

## Running `apt-get update` for you...


## Run `sudo apt-get install -y nodejs` to install Node.js 14.x and npm
## You may also need development tools to build native addons:
     sudo apt-get install gcc g++ make
## To install the Yarn package manager, run:
     curl -sL https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
     echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
     sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install yarn

Then, if I run sudo apt-get install nodejs, it gets installed successfully:

node -v # v14.15.3

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

When trying to install a new version of node and apt-get update fail.

What is the expected behavior?

It might be not running apt-get update automatically as it seems it's not necessary for the installation.

What do you see instead?

"Error executing command, exiting"
