Thanks, added.

Still same. Here is the very first run, right after xen-create-image, running
"knife bootstrap". We see

[Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:42:27 +0100] INFO: execute[apt-get-update] sh(apt-get 
update)
[Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:42:28 +0100] INFO: execute[apt-get-update] ran 
successfully

However, normally, there is "apt-get update" output in between.

Any ideas?
