Run apt recipe before LXC to make sure APT repos are up-to-date

I added the apt cookbook to the Kitchen suite in order to avoid the following exception on kitchen test; is there a better way to do this?

The default recipe should already call the apt recipe for debian boxes, so not sure what you're seeing. Just merged #147, so I'll refactor and fix this if it makes sense.

The issue is that lxc::default recipe is invoked in the Test Kitchen run list before any recipes from this cookbook. The lxc::default recipe can fail in certain cases when the APT cache is not up to date. Including the apt recipe is one way to fix this, but without a change like this one, the error I cited above can occur on any kitchen test run.

Ah very true. Sorry I was looking at the merged #147 codebase, which doesn't call lxc in test kitchen beforehand now.

[fancyremarker]

Oh, duh. I was not looking at that codebase. Yeah, this fix should be moot with that merge. Sorry for the noise.

Definitely not your fault. I said I was going to merge it like a month ago and never did. Now that its merged we can all benefit. So sorry it took me so long! 😄
