Hi Roland

While preparing a MR for supporting dracut instead of initramfs-tools for live-build, I've noticed that Calamares requires 'rsync' which was not available in the images that I have locally generated.

The executable rsync is called here:
https://sources.debian.org/src/calamares/3.3.9-1/src/modules/unpackfs/main.py/#L179

Can you add rsync to the Depends list of calamares?

Calamares itself doesn't rely on the unpackfs in order to function, for example, someone might use it as a rescue system, OEM setup tool, or even in installations use a mode that doesn't depend on rsync (like using a bootstrap tool, for example).

I could add it as a dependency for calamares-settings-debian, or even add it as a recommends for Calamares, but first I'd like more details on what you're doing. What are you doing in an initramfs or in dracut that uses Calamares? Are you building an initial ramdisk that contains Calamares?

thanks,

-Jonathan
