additional.packages

# This is the list of additional packages that will be installed in
# the guest.  Note these will be installed in a chroot environment
# which may bring its own issues.  If you just want to mirror packages
# add them to mirror.packages.

# It is best to keep this list short, and continue the install from a
# running guest using the mirror, chef, puppet, etc.

# You may get away with additional packages, but not all packages
# can be installed in a chroot environment.

# If you want to install additional packages it is best to mirror them
# and then boot the kvm and mount the mirror using NFS, or
# alternatively use chef or puppet to continue the install.  Using NFS
# brings it's own issues see the following.

# NFS client for mounting the mirror
#   nfs-common won't install in a chroot
#   without some additional help.
#
#   First time through the installation of nfs-common will fail.
#   Steps:
#     1) Use 12-chroot.bash to enter the chroot
#     2) chroot# dpkg-divert --local --rename --add /sbin/initctl
#     3) chroot# ln -s /bin/true /sbin/initctl
#     4) chroot# apt-get install nfs-common
#     5) chroot# rm /sbin/initctl
#     6) chroot# dpkg-divert --local --rename --remove /sbin/initctl
#
#     nfs-common tries to use upstart to start statd resulting in:
#       start: Unknown job: statd
