The use of mkfs.ext3 is found here: https://sources.debian.org/src/libvirt-sandbox/0.5.1+git20160404-1/libvirt-sandbox/image/sources/base.py/#L138 As can be seen /sbin/mkfs.ext3 is passed as an *argument* to the virt-sandbox command. I assume mkfs.ext3 is executed inside some sort of sandbox. A dependency would make sure the command is available *outside* the sandbox, but I have no idea if this benefits what's run *inside* the sandbox in any way.... Would be great to hear the maintainers view on this. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
