1.42.1: Alpine's community repository, turned on before installing

on GitHub

Fixed

• Alpine: "no such package". On a real Alpine v3.24 machine the installer got as far as the packages and stopped: brightnessctl (no such package), and thirteen more. They all live in Alpine's community repository, which a fresh install leaves switched off -- and so do the X server, xinit, xterm, Wine, udisks2 and NetworkManager, 33 of the names in all. apk refuses the list as a whole, so nothing went in.

  The installer now turns community on before it asks for anything: it uncomments the line where there is one, and otherwise adds it, taking the mirror from the line main comes from or building it from the machine's own Alpine version. A machine that already has community is left alone.

• The seat. Where usermod is missing and BusyBox's addgroup does the work, the user now joins input as well as video: Alpine has no logind to hand the seat over, and the X server startx runs wants both.

Thank you to whoever ran 1.42.0 on a bare Alpine and sent the screenshot -- that is exactly the report that finds this.
