1997969 - Update coreutils in Ubuntu 18.04 base image

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Task Configuration, task)

Description

[Andrew Halberstadt [:ahal]]

We're starting to use the Taskgraph copy of run-task in Gecko CI (for repos running on Github). The upstream script uses env -S in the shebang, but unfortunately the version that comes with Ubuntu 18.04 is so old that this isn't supported.

We need to set up a package task that the Ubuntu 18.04 docker-image task depends on so we can get a more modern version of "env". Ubuntu 18.04 tasks should be going away sometime in the next quarter or two anyway, so this measure is only temporary.

The upstream run-task script uses env -S which isn't supported in
the version of coreutils that ships with Ubuntu 18.04. Create a packages
task to obtain a more modern version.
