Describe issue

One of the steps is to install a few Ubuntu packages. The process hangs

hey @wawrzek

I would try something like this:

sudo apt install -y
protobuf-compiler
pkg-config
libssl-dev

It looks like apt is running in interactive mode.

[wawrzek]

@sebastien-perpignane good point. I'm quite surprised that the '-y' is missing. I wonder how it worked on GitHub? However, I lost '-y' quite recently, rewriting workflows to fit in 80 lines, and I didn't lose them everywhere. In the most case it's still there.

Anyway, thank you very much.

[sebastien-perpignane]

@wawrzek full github image probably contains a preconfigured apt command to always run in non interactive mode.

Good point. Maybe worth to add it to the documentation. I created the issue with similar "problem": #2462
