Prior to Enterprise Linux 9, it seems some Red Hat based distros

"fedora"|"rhel"|"centos"|"scientificlinux"|"oraclelinux"|"redhat-based"
However, it seems some distros, e.g. Rocky9 and AlmaLinux9 are now returning
"rocky"/"almalinux" for inspect-get-distro
When using virt-install and then virt-customize, I am seeing issues like the following:
[Rocky9]$ virt-customize -a disk.qcow2 --firstboot-command /tmp/bootstrap
[ 0.0] Examining the guest ...
[ 17.1] Setting a random seed
[ 17.3] Installing firstboot command: /tmp/bootstrap
virt-customize: error: guest type rocky is not supported
This is just a bug. For reference what versions of libguestfs &
guestfs-tools are you using?
Is there some way to return "redhat-based" again for
inspect-get-distro or does the distro list matching need to be updated?
I possibly updated the OS database (osinfo-query os) to support newer OS - is this
related to this problem?
