Title:
  Auto-retry on apt-get update failures

Status in “autopkgtest” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  "apt-get update" occasionally fails with something like

  W: Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ftpmaster
  .internal_ubuntu_dists_utopic_universe_binary-i386_Packages  Hash Sum
  mismatch

  This happens when apt downloads Release, then a mirror pulse happens
  in the middle, and the subsequently downloaded Packages.gz are from
  the next archive update.

  In that case we should auto-retry apt-get once, like in

  buildd/trunk/revision/106?compare_revid=104
