Ubuntu and package installation

In the act workflows installing Ubuntu packages with apt, the list of sources has to be refreshed first with apt update. The same is not required in GHA. I can run apt install -y $PACKAGE straight away.
AFAIK that's the 'feature' of docker image, nothing particular to act. I suggest adding one-liner to documentation, something like:
"Ubuntu docker image requires a source list refresh before running apt install. Therefore, any workflow with the deb package installation action requires the apt update to be run first."
