Re: [Libguestfs] appliance VM won't start, can't find /init, but /init is in the image.

There is in libc.so.6 file in the VM image.

BTW, as a quick check I did:
febootstrap --verbose --names bash libc6
I never see the libc6 package being downloaded
if I do
febootstrap --verbose --names libc6
then libc6 *is* downloaded.
(This works for me in 11.04)
febootstrap does:
apt-cache depends --recurse -i %list-of-pkgs% | grep -v '^[<[:space:]]'
eg:
apt-cache depends --recurse -i bash libc6 | grep -v '^[<[:space:]]'
It then downloads each one using 'aptitude download'.
Each is then unpacked using:
dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile %filename% | (cd %tmpdir% && tar xf -)
Does that list contain libc6?
Does 'aptitude download libc6' work?
If downloaded, does the unpacked deb contain the expected symlink?

You may need to force the cached appliance to be rebuilt between
tests

Is there a similar way to clear out the files in appliance/supermin.d so i
can re-do the package download/unpack/build img process? I have been making
clean, then make, then make install in src/libguestfs-1.12.3.
Just:
make -C appliance clean all
should be sufficient.
