Hello--
I've been trying to build libguestfs 1.2.14 with the appliance enabled on an older type of system at my company. Getting all the required dependencies installed has been an arduous process, but I've finally hit an obstacle I don't know how to get around. The final output of "make":

/sbin/depmod does indeed exist. I suppose that it doesn't exist inside the chroot febootstrap-run is running in, but I couldn't imagine why not.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.
Does $PATH contain /sbin? I think you should really try a newer version of libguestfs. The 1.2 series is about 18 months old and contains a (low risk but known) vulnerability.
