On the ubuntu-24.04 runner, dpkg-buildpackage aborted every xcat-core
package with 'Unmet build dependencies: build-essential:native', so zero
debs were produced, reprepro created no dists/noble, and 'apt-get update'
against the local file: repo failed with 'dists/noble/.../Packages File
not found' -> install_xcat failed. Add build-essential to the workflow
dependency install so the local package repo is actually built.
The xcat-dep APT repo now publishes only the noble (24.04) codename at
.../apt/latest/xcat-dep; the bionic/devel dist no longer exists, so
install_xcat failed on apt-get update/install. Run the workflow on
ubuntu-24.04 and point the apt source at latest/xcat-dep noble main.
Drop the apt-key step: apt-key is removed on Ubuntu 24.04 and the legacy
apt.key is gone from the xcat-dep dir; the repo already installs via
allow-insecure-repositories/allow-unauthenticated.
