I've seen this thing before... it's a trace you see when trying to exec
something from python (using subprocess) that doesn't exist on the
system.
mic2 needs to capture the exception to and provide an error that means
something (like 'please install foobar'.)
I'm not looking through the code right now, but I bet that Anas or Praj
will know what external executables mic2 might try to call... perhaps
mksquashfs?
