Unable to upgrade flutter packages

[Sander0542]

When calling the command flutter pub upgrade <package> with this container, the user does not have enough permissions in the .dart_tool folder.

Should the prepare-tool flutter command be called in the Dockerfile too? I don't see this for any other frameworks.

According to the Flutter prepare tool the exact directory gets created.

If this is not the fix. What else can we try to get Renovate working with Flutter (and Dart)?

### ⚠️ Artifact update problem

Renovate failed to update an artifact related to this branch. You probably do not want to merge this PR as-is.

♻ Renovate will retry this branch, including artifacts, only when one of the following happens:

 - any of the package files in this branch needs updating, or 
 - the branch becomes conflicted, or
 - you click the rebase/retry checkbox if found above, or
 - you rename this PR's title to start with "rebase!" to trigger it manually

The artifact failure details are included below:

Flutter (and Dart) support was added in PR #1448

how are you running this image?

those folders should be generated automatically. so you probably override /tmp folder and or entry point in a wrong way.

this is probably related.

[Sander0542]

I don't think this is related, because it is still happening with Flutter version 3.27.4.

I see a newer version has been upgraded recently, but this error seems more as a problem with file permissions within the image.
