Need to get 26.9 MB of archives.

After this operation, 108 MB of additional disk space will be used.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

I'm thinking this might be better?

~:% sudo apt-get install --no-recommends libguestfs-tools

Also, does anyone know how long http://virt-tools.org has been down?

Thanks A bunch,
