installDebianUbuntu ran apt (bare on line 14, via sudo on 17/20) during
the startPreInstall pass. Under the hardened de-sudo model the runtime is
the manager (libreportal, non-root) and the LP_SYSTEM sudoers allowlist
scopes systemctl/ufw/sysctl/loginctl/service but NOT apt — so every apt
call failed (exit 100, 'Updating System Operating system.').
Detect privilege once: run apt directly when root (the install-time path,
which also bootstraps sudo on a bare box), and skip cleanly with a notice
when we're the unprivileged manager. OS/security updates are a host /
install-time concern there, deliberately kept out of the manager's reach.
Also routes the trailing sysctl mkdir/touch through the same prefix.
