[PHREAKSCRIPT-77] install: install_prereq aborts early
On some systems, such as those installed via CD, install_prereq aborts early since it uses set -e and aptitude update fails:
# aptitude update

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.This leads to some prereqs not being installed, eventually causing configure to fail.
Rather than getting to that point, we need to abort immediately if updates fail to install, so the user can address that issue.
