Install Error - missing rsync

[Garrett Carson]

I am brand new to the world of juju, so forgive me if I'm missing something obvious.
Basically just rsync is missing and install fails, easily fixable. Here's the context in case it helps.

I am deploying nodes as suggested by the nagios charm
[code]
juju deploy nagios central-monitor
juju deploy mysql big-db
(fails here) juju deploy statusnet microblog
juju add-relation big-db microblog
juju add-relation big-db central-monitor
juju add-relation microblog central-monitor
[/code]

at "juju deploy statusnet microblog" the install hook fails

[/code]

no idea why rsync could not be found. This is a local install using precise, here is the relevant section of environments config
[code]
local:
    type: local
    control-bucket: juju-censorednumbers
    admin-secret: morecensorednumbers
    default-series: precise
    juju-origin: distro
    data-dir: /home/user/local-juju
[/code]

no constraints applied anywhere.
reproducable from scratch every time.
reproducable from juju resolved --retry every time.

after a juju ssh microblog/0 and a sudo apt-get install rsync and a juju resolved --retry it works fine

Hi Garrett, thanks for your contribution to Ubuntu!

In the future here's the step-by-step on how to submit a fix to a charm (so that it gets into the review queue and not lost)
