Merge lp:~notnownikki/offspring/retry-apt-get into lp:offspring

Tries the apt-get command up to 5 times.

Am not sure this actually does what the card indicates it should do.

I think it should check for the lock, and continue (bonus points for use of lockfile to wait for it to be ready to go).

Then we need to discuss it again, as this was the fix we agreed on when then card was moved into not started.
