Don't update system automatically #30

Description

@ebknudsen

It is not good practice to force system updates. This should not be done if dependencies can be met otherwise.
It creates a bad situation when dealing with cluster-nodes, where a build node might get out of sync with others.
(in a large-scale cluster situation easybuild is probably a better route.)

For debian, an example solution is to check for existing dependencies with apt but don't upgrade if not necessary.
Maybe a separate script for installing all dependencies if they're not there.
