… are missing
PinVersion installs linux-headers/linux-modules-extra for the running kernel
but ignored the exit code of apt-get.
The apt index could be outdated:
```
E: Failed to fetch .../wireless-regdb_2025.10.07-0ubuntu1~24.04.1_all.deb
404 Not Found
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with
--fix-missing?
CmdExecution: ExitCode 0
```
`apt` aborted the transaction, so linux-modules-extra was never installed, the
step reported success.
Changes, limited to Ubuntu:
- run `apt-get update` before the install
- check the install exit code and abort the build with a clear message
