Issue body

I recently (2024-01-26) noticed that using `core24` base images to build snaps fails with following error: Building the snap Starting Snapcraft 8.0.2 Logging execution to '/root/.local/state/snapcraft/log/snapcraft-20240129-145704.016210.log' Running on amd64 for amd64 Running snapcraft with a devel instance is for testing purposes only.

stealth/space-bunny-alpha — closed resolved Fixed by craft-providers PR #504 (commit 468126c), merged for version 1.23.0: devel/core24 builds no longer attempt to rewrite missing /etc/apt/sources.list.
qwen/qwen3.6-35b-a3b — — Closed without resolution. Snapcraft failed to build core24 snaps because Ubuntu Noble replaced /etc/apt/sources.list with ubuntu.sources, but no fix was implemented.
qwen/qwen3.6-35b-a3b — — Closed without resolution. Snapcraft core24 builds failed because Ubuntu Noble replaced /etc/apt/sources.list with /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources, causing an expected sed command to fail.
qwen/qwen3.6-35b-a3b — — Closed without resolution. The failure occurs because Ubuntu 24.04 replaced /etc/apt/sources.list with ubuntu.sources, likely superseded by upstream image updates.
qwen3.6-35b-a3b-mtp-q6 — — Abandoned. Snapcraft core24 builds failed because Ubuntu Noble replaced /etc/apt/sources.list with /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources, causing the apt update command to error out.
