[Vmdebootstrap-devel] Bug#807881: vmdebootstrap: should depend on mbr

[Martin Atukunda]

Package: vmdebootstrap
Version: 0.5-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

I followed the example in the vmdebootstrap manpage for creating a
stable debian vm.

I got an error stating:

    mbr enabled but /sbin/install-mbr not found

I expected to create a virtual disk image.

When I install the mbr package, then the example in the manpage works just
fine.
