There is a typo in `/usr/sbin/install_packages` that disables filtering of
unknown packages:

- if ( ! $opt_N && -f "$FAI_ROOT/usr/sbin/apt-cache" ) {
+ if ( ! $opt_N && -f "$FAI_ROOT/usr/bin/apt-cache" ) {
@known = clean_pkg_list(@complete);
} else {
@known = @complete;
```
Result is that apt fails if there are any unknown or obsolete
packages in your config.
