(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:]]'

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? http://git.annexia.org/?p=febootstrap.git;a=blob;f=febootstrap_debian.ml;... > You may need to force the cached appliance to be rebuilt between tests > > by doing: > > > > rm -rf {/tmp,/var/tmp}/.guestfs-* > > > > > 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?
