Report #7513

[bug\_fix] ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c apt-get update" did not complete successfully: exit code: 100 \(Could not resolve archive.ubuntu.com\)

Add \`--network=host\` to the \`RUN\` instruction \(e.g., \`RUN --network=host apt-get update && apt-get install -y ...\`\) or configure BuildKit DNS settings to match the host.

Journey Context:
A developer migrates their CI/CD pipeline from the legacy Docker builder to BuildKit. Suddenly, \`apt-get update\` or \`curl\` commands inside \`RUN\` instructions fail with DNS resolution errors or network timeouts. The commands work perfectly on their local machine and worked fine in the legacy builder. They attempt to hardcode Google's DNS \(8.8.8.8\) inside the container, check corporate firewall rules, and waste hours debugging VPN connections. The root cause is that BuildKit defaults to using a separate network namespace for \`RUN\` instructions for better isolation and cache consistency, whereas the legacy builder defaulted to the host network. In restricted corporate environments, this isolated namespace loses access to the host's DNS resolvers or proxy configurations. Appending \`--network=host\` to the \`RUN\` instruction tells BuildKit to execute that specific step in the host's network namespace, restoring connectivity.
