Cannot install rsync on Alpine

[adamretter]

Vagrantfile:

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

# Vagrantfile API/syntax version. Don't touch unless you know what you're doing!
VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|

  config.vm.define "linux64-musl" do |musl64|
    musl64.vm.box = "alpine/alpine64"
    musl64.vm.box_version = "3.6.0"
    musl64.vm.provision :shell, path: "build-linux-alpine.sh"
  end

  config.vm.define "linux32-musl" do |musl32|
    musl32.vm.box = "alpine/alpine32"
    musl32.vm.box_version = "3.6.0"
    musl32.vm.provision :shell, path: "build-linux-alpine.sh"
  end

  config.vm.synced_folder "../..", "/rocksdb", type: "rsync"

end

Then run vagrant up linux64-musl and eventually you see the error:

==> linux64-musl: Installing rsync to the VM...
The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

apk add rsync

Stdout from the command:

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
  rsync (missing):
    required by: world[rsync]


Stderr from the command:

WARNING: Ignoring APKINDEX.066df28d.tar.gz: No such file or directory
WARNING: Ignoring APKINDEX.b53994b4.tar.gz: No such file or directory
ERROR: unsatisfiable constraints:

This issue - maier/vagrant-alpine#29 seems to explain that rsync cannot be installed without first doing either an apk update or apk SHOULD use --no-cache.

I think this might also be related to #9574

@jbonhag thank you :-)
