Failed to fetch dependencies

Looks like my problem was due to the /etc/resolv.conf file being symlinked to /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf, however the /run/systemd was missing entirely.

When my raspberry PI is booted, /run/systemd is present, but not when using this packer builder for some reason.

I mounted the /run/systemd folder with the chroot_mounts option, by adding ["bind", "/run/systemd", "/run/systemd"] to the default options.

After this, my resolv.conf was linked up again, and DNS was working.

@gianlazz, I'd recommend checking out the state of your /etc/resolv.conf file, as it could be the reason your DNS resolution isn't working.

Actually the mirrors seem to resolve just fine on my machine but rather that the emulated pi image doesn't seem to be able to connect to the internet.

this builder works by creating a chroot environment - is there any reason for chroot environment on your machine to no have network access?

I'm getting a similar issue in Ubuntu pre-installed for Pi. Ubuntu recommend mounting the resolv.conf in these docs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot Is this something that could help in this case?

closing as answered. added additional_chroot_mounts to make this use case easier.
