Bug Description

See attached screenshot.

A partner was recently running the precheck script and sent me a screenshot with a question about the process... I noticed in their screenshot that /etc/xdg/canonical-certificaiton.conf wasn't found by the script, yet the script keeps going.

The precheck script depends on that conf file and so should immediately fail and exit if the file isn't found.

The problem report is almost certainly caused by the incomplete APT setup; the config file IS present, just under another name. This was supposed to be fixed by https://code.launchpad.net/~rodsmith/plainbox-provider-certification-server/+git/plainbox-provider-certification-server/+ref/fix-apt-errors-in-precheck, but it looks like it's not running early enough in the script. I'm looking into that now.
