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

Gotcha. I can confirm that

$ apt-cache depends --recurse -i libc6 | grep -v '^[<[:space:]]' | grep libc
lists libc6.
Just to explore a bit more:
$ apt-cache depends --recurse -i bash libc6
bash
Depends: base-files
Depends: debianutils
PreDepends: dash
PreDepends: libc6
PreDepends: libncurses5
I'm going to check with our local distribution developers and see what's
going on.
Simplest workaround is to add any packages that are missing directly to:
appliance/packagelist.in
then rebuild the appliance (make -C appliance clean all).
Possibly febootstrap should include PreDepends dependencies? For some
reason this issue doesn't affect us on Debian / Ubuntu later versions.
