[Bug 562575] [NEW] vm-builder fails to resolve package dependency in vanilla system

[Marcus Bointon]

Public bug reported:

Using this vmbuilder command (note no additional packages requested,
just creating a completely vanilla system):

vmbuilder kvm ubuntu \
--suite lucid \
--flavour virtual \
--arch amd64 \
-o \
--libvirt qemu:///system \
--part vmbuilder.partition \
--user user \
--name user \
--pass default \
--ip 192.168.176.100 \
--mirror http://192.168.176.19:9999/ubuntu \
--dest /root/vm1

I get this output:

Is this a problem in vmbuilder, or just a symptom of an unstable package
tree?
