From josv on IRC:
Hi! I am on Fedora 25 and installed libguestfs (1.36.2) from the
fedora repo. It seems that the squashfs feature is missing in this
installation (guestfish add-drive /dev/null : run : available squashfs
returns "error: squashfs: group not available"). What would be the
recommended way to have the squashfs feature available?
$ guestfish -a /dev/null run : supported
...
squashfs no
...
$ rpm -q squashfs-tools
squashfs-tools-4.3-12.fc24.x86_64
I think actually this is a bug. I'll take a look into it tomorrow.
Rich.

It looks like the Fedora packaging does not have squashfs-tools as
Build-Require -- adding it should do the job.
Speaking of Fedora: the libosinfo dependency can be changed to
osinfo-db in f25+, as we just need the osinfo data.
Thanks,

Ah yes, that's right. Because it's not available at build time it
doesn't get added to /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/packages. So even
if you later install it at runtime, it is not included.
I will fix this and the osinfo thing in the next build.
Thanks,
Rich.
