With the recent update of BusyBox to version 1.29.0 in
d6aa506e3b there is now a new dependency
on libresolv.
This now throws a runtime error when executing ash, eg. whenever we do
something like this:
nix-build -E 'with import ./. {}; vmTools.runInLinuxVM hello'
The resulting error will be:
.../ash: error while loading shared libraries: libresolv.so.2: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried to override BusyBox with enableStatic, but that still requires
parts of glibc:
Static linking against glibc, can't use --gc-sections
Trying libraries: crypt m resolv
Library crypt is not needed, excluding it
Library m is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
Library resolv is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
Library m is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
Library resolv is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
Final link with: m resolv
In the long term maybe switching to a more minimal C library such as
musl would make more sense, but for now I just added libresolv.so to the
initrd which fixes the runtime error.
