      Description

      mender-artifact cp tries to imitate the cp command. Thus, as a user, I expect that mender-artifact cp my-file:/dir/ should work by copying the local file into /dir/my-file.

      Instead, it just silently fails to copy it and returns success:

      $ cat lluis-file.txt 
hola
$ ./mender-artifact cp lluis-file.txt cool-artifact.mender:/etc/
$ echo $?
0
$ ./mender-artifact cat cool-artifact.mender:/etc/lluis-file.txt
failed to copy from: cool-artifact.mender:/etc/lluis-file.txt to stdout: err: extFile: ReadError: debugfsCopyFile failed: file /etc/lluis-file.txt not found in image
$ ./mender-artifact cp lluis-file.txt cool-artifact.mender:/etc/lluis-file.txt
$ ./mender-artifact cat cool-artifact.mender:/etc/lluis-file.txt
hola
