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":
+ febootstrap-run initramfs -- /sbin/depmod -a ABOUT-NLS BUGS COPYING

/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.

OK, I was able to solve this by installing the package
libxml-light-ocaml-dev. Now I get a little further, but eventually the
build stops again with this error:

Which version of febootstrap are you pairing with this old libguestfs?
libguestfs up to ~ 1.7.something required febootstrap 2.x. After
that, febootstrap 3 is required.
You need to be really specific about what this "old Ubuntu" is that
you're trying to build on. What kernel version? What version of KVM?
In general terms we need a very recent version of Debian/Ubuntu,
because older versions just didn't support the features we need.

Yes, I've made a list of the valid combinations:
1. libguestfs 1.2.14 requires febootstrap >= 2.3
2. libguestfs 1.4.6 requires febootstrap >= 2.7
3. libguestfs 1.6.2 requires febootstrap >= 2.10
4. libguestfs 1.8.7 requires febootstrap >= 3.0 (though 3.3 is recommended)
I've tried building each version of libguestfs with the minimum acceptable
(or recommended, in the case of #4) version of febootstrap. #1 is the one I
originally posted about; it gets up to running febootstrap, then complains
about not finding /sbin/depmod. #2 and #3 both get to running febootstrap,
then error out with "cannot run command `rm': No such file or directory".
I'm trying to build febootstrap 3.3 right now.
You need to be really specific about what this "old Ubuntu"
is that
you're trying to build on. What kernel version?
2.6.32-29-generic.
What version of KVM?
0.13.0-0ubuntu1.

I believe this kernel is too old -- it doesn't have virtio-serial
which was added in 2.6.35 or 2.6.36. Unless you can at least install
a later kernel for guests to use, this is never going to work.

This should be OK.
Next step is to build febootstrap ideally 3.6.
Then install febootstrap (or adjust your $PATH), and build libguestfs.
Usually to build Debian binary packages you just have to do:
debuild -i -uc -us -b 2>&1 | tee /tmp/log

Okay, I managed to locate a machine with kernel 2.6.35-7.1.1. I build
febootstrap-3.6 without any problems, then tried to build libguestfs-1.10.3,
and encountered a different failure mode:

./make.sh

Following this was 209 lines each of the form "E: No downloadable files for

Any suggestions for how to proceed from here? Thanks in advance.

IIRC you have to do:
sudo apt-get update
and then rerun the make command (as NON-root).
