Creating containers for Linux targets is busted due to outdated apt

For Linux containers we hardcode 0.9.7.9+deb7u8 as the minimal apt version but that's not available anymore on deb.freexian.com. Rather it's 0.9.7.9+deb7u9 now.

bug_34242 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-browser-build.git/commit/?h=bug_34242&id=e9fa09b87bd633f10cfeca2797839662138d5d39) has the changes up for review.

However, it seems I still can't build containers successfully again. The debootstrap-image part is still failing, although differently now:

W: Failure trying to run: chroot "/var/tmp/tmp.HiqNC7Q599/base-image" dpkg --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/base-passwd_3.5.26_amd64.deb
W: See /var/tmp/tmp.HiqNC7Q599/base-image/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details

And the end of that log says:

Hrm.

That in turn does only happen on one of the machines I have available. So, this ticket seems to be unrelated to that problem at least.

I filed #34243 (moved) for that one.

Patch looks good, and sha256 hashes confirmed. Thanks!

Merged with commit e202334a89191016e6419fe5cbedd965727b3103.
