The multi-arch docker build installs curl/unzip from ports.ubuntu.com for the QEMU-emulated arches (arm64, ppc64le, s390x, riscv64). On GitHub runners those emulated containers frequently have no working IPv6 route, so apt-get update wastes its attempts on unreachable v6 addresses; when the index fetch fails apt still exits 0, and the following install dies with "Unable to locate package curl/unzip", failing the whole build. Write an apt.conf that forces IPv4 and enables 5 retries before apt-get update, and remove it again during the cleanup step so the final image is unchanged.

Problem
The
build-dockerjob builds the image for multiple architectures via QEMU emulation. Every arch except amd64 (arm64, ppc64le, s390x, riscv64) installscurl/unzipfromports.ubuntu.com. On GitHub runners the emulated containers frequently have no working IPv6 route, soapt-get updateburns its attempts on unreachable v6 addresses:apt-get updatestill exits 0 on a failed index fetch, so the build proceeds toapt-get installand dies with "Unable to locate package".Change
