[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#684885: update-guestfs-appliance fails for wheezy because it looks for 'diff' instead of 'diffutils'

[Didier Raboud]

Package: libguestfs0
Version: 1:1.18.1-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

as the title says, update-guestfs-appliance fails when trying to install
wheezy as it will try to install "diff" while it has been replaced by
"diffutils".

Furthermore, as this initially fails, after modifying
/usr/lib/guestfs/packagelist , the download restart from scratch.
update-guestfs-appliance should use /var/cache/apt/archives if possible.

Cheers,

OdyX
