[aymanrady]

Description of the problem / feature request:

Not sure if this issue belongs here or not. Depending on a container_image in a genrule tools errors when sandboxfs is used

Bugs: what's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

Bazel 0.16.1 sandboxfs 625ac9a1e72a91b7bde85b0d091cfba2d2edc89b

Hey, this caught my attention because I saw sandboxfs mentioned as the cause behind this issue... but neither your bazel build invocation nor the logs have any mentions of sandboxfs. Are you really using sandboxfs (and have confirmed that this problem happens exclusively when sandboxfs is on), or is this "just" a generic sandboxing issue?
