Per Nx support the file package is required.

The error /opt/digitalwatchdog/mediaserver/lib/fallback/manage_fallback_libs.sh: 18: file: not found sure confused me, did not think the file: not found was a missing package.

Verified that the DEB installer does not list file in the Depends section.

Working around the issue by manually installing the file package.

A couple thoughts:

• The dependency was introduced in 6.0.0.38488 while 6.0.0.38086 installed fine.
• Nx really should include Ubuntu Docker Jammy in their test matrix, this is an easy catch, and should not have slipped out the door.
• Any package dependency should be included in the DEB installer Depends section, end users should not need to pre-install any packages required for operation.

Per Nx will be corrected in a future build, will revert manually adding file once fixed.
