Installing git removes sudo and other packages

[markvr]

Expected behavior

Git to be installed, and no other changes.

Actual behavior

sudo, bash and other critical packages are removed. This is pretty fatal, and requires reimaging the host from the Azure portal, and rejoining it to the swarm.

Thanks for reporting this issue. This is happening because the bash package shipped has become out of date is getting purged which is also causing sudo to get purged. A workaround for now: before invoking any sudo apk add operations, invoke sudo apk add sudo

+1 deleted all packages

@miholeus Our latest RC has a fix for this.

[miholeus]

@FrenchBen great! Do you have any idea when it will be available on Azure?
