apt-get update / install without -y causes setup hang

https://github.com/shivammathur/php-ubuntu/blob/d752c0e323638e3fa5ae13654ab4935d7432657d/scripts/install.sh#L31

I'm trying to run shivammathur/setup-php@v2 through act, however it hangs up indefinitely.

So I connected a term session to the container, checked where it is stuck and manually checked through the running scripts:

root        19     0  0 19:15 pts/1    00:00:00 node /var/run/act/actions/shivammathur-setup-php@v2/dist/index.js
root        35    19  0 19:15 pts/1    00:00:00  \_ /usr/bin/bash /run/act/actions/shivammathur-setup-php@v2/src/scripts/run.sh
root        49    35  0 19:15 pts/1    00:00:00      \_ bash /tmp/install.sh 7.4 release
root       117    49  0 19:15 pts/1    00:00:00          \_ sudo apt --fix-broken install
root       118   117  0 19:15 pts/2    00:00:00              \_ sudo apt --fix-broken install
root       119   118  0 19:15 pts/2    00:00:00                  \_ apt --fix-broken install

Running the command manually (after manually deleting the apt lock), it asks me for confirmation; which I suppose is the root cause of the hang.

After some detective work, it seems that the code of install.sh is coming from this repository (I'm guessing is the script I linked at the top).

Wouldn't the following fix the problem?

    sudo apt --fix-broken install -y || (sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt --fix-broken install -y)

@uuf6429
What is the command you are using to run act.

[uuf6429]

Just "act", and selecting the "medium" image, since it actually has node 16.

[shivammathur]

Please try with images we maintain for setup-php.

Thanks that seems to work well!

@shivammathur actually, I still have one final problem - apparently that image does not contain docker itself, so I cannot start further services. Any suggestions?

(also, couldn't it make sense to just fix the original problem with php-ubuntu?)

PS: I've also updated the main description to be clearrr..

[shivammathur]

I added the -y option in shivammathur/php-ubuntu@33b904a as it is harmless, but scripts in this repo are only meant to run on GitHub hosted runners which do not need this.

I will add a check in setup-php to make sure this repo is not used when it is run using act in the next release of the action.

Also, I have added docker to the shivammathur/node images, so please use those for running act.
