I tried installing kernel-core package: $ podman run -it --rm quay.io/ovirt/imageio-test-fedora-34 # dnf install kernel-core ... Package kernel-core-5.12.9-300.fc34.x86_64 is already installed. So I reinstalled it: # dnf reinstall kernel-core ... And after that modules.dep was created: # ls /lib/modules/5.12.9-300.fc34.x86_64/ System.map modules.alias modules.builtin.bin modules.drm modules.symbols vdso bls.conf modules.alias.bin modules.builtin.modinfo modules.modesetting modules.symbols.bin vmlinuz build modules.block modules.dep modules.networking source weak-updates config modules.builtin modules.dep.bin modules.order symvers.gz kernel modules.builtin.alias.bin modules.devname modules.softdep updates And virt-builder is working: # LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct virt-builder cirros-0.3.5 -o test.img [ 2.2] Downloading: http://builder.libguestfs.org/cirros-0.3.5.xz [ 2.2] Planning how to build this image [ 2.2] Uncompressing [ 2.6] Opening the new disk [ 26.6] Setting a random seed [ 26.9] Setting passwords virt-builder: warning: password: using insecure md5 password encryption for guest of type cirros version 0.3. If this is incorrect, use --password-crypto option and file a bug. virt-builder: Setting random password of root to mbeNkcd6DVbSWmNn [ 31.9] Finishing off Output file: test.img Output size: 39.2M Output format: raw Total usable space: 22.2M Free space: 5.3M (23%) So kernel-core was already installed, but for some reason its scriptlet did not create modules.dep when the container was built. I looked at the quay.io logs creating this container: https://quay.io/repository/ovirt/imageio-test-fedora-34/build/08d6965f-9d... And we do see the scriptlet running: 6/8/2021, 1:30:44 PMInstalling : kernel-core-5.12.9-300.fc34.x86_64 254/373 6/8/2021, 1:30:44 PMRunning scriptlet: kernel-core-5.12.9-300.fc34.x86_64 254/373 ... 6/8/2021, 1:31:05 PMRunning scriptlet: kernel-core-5.12.9-300.fc34.x86_64 373/373 So maybe this is an issue with the install scriptlet when building in quay.io When I build the container locally on Fedora 32, modules.dep is created and virt-builder works. But I want to build in quay.io, it is much more convenient.
