Possibly febootstrap should include PreDepends dependencies?

If I leave out --recurse, $ apt-cache depends -i bash libc6 | grep -v '^[<[:space:]]' | grep libc libc6 Adding --recurse should not cause packages to not be listed. I imagine whatever bug caused this was fixed between the 10.04 and 10.10, since my home box running 10.10 doesn't have this problem. > Rich. > > -- > Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat > http://people.redhat.com/~rjones > virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.
