fix(ci): Linux apt step best-effort + hard-capped (was hanging 30+ min) - #223
Merged
Conversation
The Linux release job hung for 30+ min on 'install build dependencies': apt-get stalled on the persistent wsl2 runner (likely a dpkg lock held by unattended-upgrades). The packages are already installed on that runner from prior runs, so the install itself is a no-op -- the hang is in apt-get update / lock acquisition. Bound the apt commands with and DPkg::Lock::Timeout so a stuck lock cannot hang the release, set DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive to avoid debconf prompts, treat apt as best-effort, then verify webkit2gtk-4.1 is actually present (fail loudly only if genuinely missing).

Problem
The
Linux Releasejob hung 30+ minutes oninstall build dependencies— twice (initial run and a re-run).apt-getstalled on the persistentwsl2runner.Cause
The deps were already installed by an earlier successful run on that persistent runner, so the install is effectively a no-op. The hang is in
apt-get update/ dpkg lock acquisition — almost certainlyunattended-upgradesholding the lock. With no lock timeout,apt-getwaits indefinitely (up to the 90-min job timeout).Fix
Make the apt step best-effort and hard-capped so a stuck lock can never hang a release, then verify the real dependency is present:
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive— no debconf prompts.timeout 420/600+-o DPkg::Lock::Timeout=120— bound wall time and lock waits.|| echo …), since the deps are typically already present.pkg-config --exists webkit2gtk-4.1and fail loudly only if the critical lib is genuinely missing.Context
Windows binaries already published successfully to alpha.17 in this round; this unblocks the Linux half. After merge: re-tag alpha.17 and re-fire.
