Cannot use Nala front-end for libapt-pkg via virt-customize --install inside Ubuntu Jammy cloud image

[pgagarinov]

The goal was to have nala (https://gitlab.com/volian/nala) installed into the cloud image https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/jammy/current/jammy-server-cloudimg-amd64.img and then use it to install other packages. However, even nala update fails (see below). The host OS on arctic16 is Proxmox (Debian).

root@arctic16:~/cloud-init-images# virt-customize -a jammy-server-cloudimg-amd64.img.custom --install nala
root@arctic16:~/cloud-init-images# virt-customize -a jammy-server-cloudimg-amd64.img.custom --run-command 'sudo nala update' -x

Running mkdir /run/lock helps, thanks!
