Re: [Libguestfs] Name resolution not working inside virt-customize

(eg. the "renaming ... to ..." messages should appear). Question is why does /etc/resolv.conf not get created? On Fedora, it is created by dhclient running from appliance/init: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/appliance/init#L88-L94 On Debian/Ubuntu that is supposed to run dhclient if available or dhcpcd if not. Run `./run virt-rescue --network --scratch' on the Ubuntu host and see if: - either dhclient or dhcpcd exists in the appliance - they work when you run them, or if there is an error message - if running one of them creates /etc/resolv.conf I don't see any error in the log from either dhclient or dhcpcd, so I have to assume that one of them ran, but perhaps there is some other problem. Also perhaps the packagelist (appliance/packagelist.in) doesn't list the right package containing dhclient/dhcpcd. Also maybe a different dhcp client is needed.
