I think there is a warning and possible two different errors here.

This seems to be a warning, but it's unexpected.  What version of qemu
is this?

We're not copying libaugeas.* into the appliance for some reason.
Could be a bug in febootstrap.

What does this say?

  grep augeas appliance/supermin.d/hostfiles

If the supermin appliance was built correctly, it should list all the
files and symbolic links required to have libaugeas.* in the
appliance.

The error below may also indicate a problem, but I'd concentrate on
getting the above working first.
