Anyway, I'll fire up a Debian box in my cloud and see if I can
reproduce this also.
I was able to install stretch, starting from jessie [from
`virt-builder debian-8'], changing s/jessie/stretch/ in sources.list,
and upgrading in the usual way.
To install gfs2-utils I had to add jessie as another apt source [see
my final sources.list attached]. That package is not in stretch, I
suppose because it has not been built since jessie.
I completed `apt-get build-dep libguestfs' with no errors.
I built libguestfs from git (ac76081f). I had to additionally
install: `db-util' and `uuid-runtime'. I think both are missing
dependencies from the Debian package.
The test suite basically worked after that. There were a few failures
(eg. grub missing, xfs-admin lacks some patches that we added
upstream), but nothing significant.
