test-appliance: temporary workaround to fix GCE networking breakage
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
For now, diable running updating to the latest version of Debian
packages to work around the virtio-net device not getting detected
with custom kernels built with the install-kconfig kernel
configuration.  (Veriied with a 5.15.79 and 6.10-rc5 kernel, although
the 6.1 Debin kernel works; so it must be some kind of kernel config
or some kind of initrd construction issue.)

The packages that are updated with the "apt-get upgrade" are:

exim4-config 4.96-15+deb12u4 --> 4.96-15+deb12u5
exim4-base 4.96-15+deb12u4 --> 4.96-15+deb12u5 over
exim4-daemon-light 4.96-15+deb12u4 --> 4.96-15+deb12u5
google-guest-agent 1:20240528.00-g1 --> 1:20240701.00-g1
google-compute-engine-oslogin 1:20240415.00-g1+deb12 --> 1:20240701.00-g1+deb12

Where the last two are the most likely culprits.
