Hi Rich,
I removed /tmp/.guestfish-* and getting same error (ostensibly same error output).
willmore@sm-vm:~$ cpio -itv < /usr/lib/guestfs/supermin.d/init.img
-rwxr-xr-x 1 willmore willmore 3280 Dec 10 19:34 init

Regards,
Chris

What does this say:
cpio -itv < /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/init.img
(adjust path to your appliance as appropriate).
I have a feeling that this was caused by something stupid such as
/init not being executable.
Actually I was thinking of this bug which is different:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=666880
However still interested to see the output from the above command.
Also try forcing the appliance to get rebuilt. Remove the temporary
cache directory (usually in /tmp/.guestfs-* or /var/tmp/.guestfs-*).
Rich.

That's the guestfish temporary files, nothing to do with the appliance
cache. Try removing /tmp/.guestfs-* and/or /var/tmp/.guestfs-* instead.
Note that in your original trace[1] the appliance had already been
cached, so w didn't get to see any errors from the build. Therefore
if it is still failing after removing the cached appliance, post the
output of libguestfs-test-tool on the first run after doing that
'rm -r'.

This looks good to me, except that from your original trace[1] the
path would have been /usr/*local*/lib/.... Is it odd that this path
has changed? Are you running matching versions of the library and the
appliance? Do you have another version installed from some previous
attempt?
Rich.
