Error when some of the dependencies are already installed

[krupkat]

Hello, thanks for the super useful repo!

I have an issue when caching the libgtk-3-dev package on Ubuntu 22.04, excerpt from my workflow:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - uses: awalsh128/cache-apt-pkgs-action@v1.1.0
      with:
          packages: libgtk-3-dev

Here is the error log:

...

I believe the get_dep_packages function will have to be updated to better handle the output from apt --dry-run. Here is what I get when running apt install --dry-run --yes libgtk-3-dev | grep "^Inst" | grep harfbuzz:

Inst libharfbuzz0b [2.7.4-1ubuntu3] (2.7.4-1ubuntu3.1 Ubuntu:22.04/jammy-updates, Ubuntu:22.04/jammy-security [amd64])
Inst gir1.2-harfbuzz-0.0 (2.7.4-1ubuntu3.1 Ubuntu:22.04/jammy-updates, Ubuntu:22.04/jammy-security [amd64])
Inst libharfbuzz-icu0 (2.7.4-1ubuntu3.1 Ubuntu:22.04/jammy-updates, Ubuntu:22.04/jammy-security [amd64])
Inst libharfbuzz-gobject0 (2.7.4-1ubuntu3.1 Ubuntu:22.04/jammy-updates, Ubuntu:22.04/jammy-security [amd64])
Inst libharfbuzz-dev (2.7.4-1ubuntu3.1 Ubuntu:22.04/jammy-updates, Ubuntu:22.04/jammy-security [amd64])

See the extra version number in square brackets on line 1 which means that there is already a 2.7.4-1ubuntu3 version of the libharfbuzz0b package installed and it will be replaced by the 2.7.4-1ubuntu3.1 version.

The other dependencies are fresh installs, so awk '{print $2 $3}' works fine to extract the version number.

Started a possible fix. It is succeeding locally but still need to run against new regression test.

If you want, you can try it out yourself from dev branch.

The fix from the dev branch worked, thanks a lot!

[awalsh128]

Great to hear. I'll update the issue once I have a release.

[awalsh128]

v1.1.0 has been patched with fixes.

Thank you! Working great now!
