[Bug 2017278] Re: installation of third party codecs enabled in UI although subiquity goes for offline install

[Tim Holmes-Mitra]

@fossfreedom @ogayot we've just finished reconciling the mess of
branches/git submodules so these changes are now in the 'main' branch
from ubuntu-desktop-installer -> ubuntu-desktop-provision ->
subiquity_client.

subiquity_client will continue to track subiquity:ubuntu/mantic as my
current understanding is that is where fixes will land for subiquity.

Title:
  installation of third party codecs enabled in UI although subiquity
  goes for offline install

Status in subiquity:
  Triaged
Status in ubuntu-desktop-installer:
  New

Bug description:
  We have had multiple private reports of failed installation with the
  following error:

  [[...], system-install', '-t', '/target', '--download-only', '--',
  'ubuntu-restricted-addons']' returned non-zero exit status 100.

  Based on the logs files gathered, this seems to happen if:
  * the installation of third-party codecs is enabled
  * subiquity decided to go for an offline install (i.e., no default route was present when the network model got configured).

  This is an inconsistency between the desktop installer and subiquity
  that we need to address.
