Bug Description

APT exits with nonzero value for some insignificant reasons, like The Google archive for Chrome browser using an ancient hash function, or a post-upgrade PPA not supporting yakkety yet.

snapcraft should not fail for silly warnings from APT.

One way to get around this is to use an apt.conf file. You can point to it with the APT_CONFIG env var.

To get around the old hash problem, you might try putting "Acquire::ForceHash "sha1";" in said apt.conf file.
