Otherwise, in the relatively rare case when Ubuntu has pushed security updates to a package (and hence AFAIU the old packages have been removed from the security pool) we will get a 404 Not Found error when trying to install freeglut3-dev.

This will slow down all runs of ou mamba action by several seconds (~ 6 s) but we'll avoid the rare but very annoying flaky failure. (Ideally we'd cache everything up to and including the pip installs, but that's probably overkill for our sporadic CI.)
