`apt-get update` will fail as non-root user. It is only needed when some build-dependencies are not installed yet. If all build dependencies are installed, craft-parts can be run without root permissions. This was previously only possible by setting the environment variable `CRAFT_PARTS_PACKAGE_REFRESH=0`.
