Package: guestfish
Version: 1:1.22.5-1+b2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

guestfish should depend on libguestfs-tools. Otherwise,
most (every?) attempts to use it result in the following
error:

libguestfs: error: cannot find any suitable libguestfs supermin, fixed or
old-style appliance on LIBGUESTFS_PATH

The libguestfs faq [1] says that "if you see this error on Debian/Ubuntu, you
need to run the following command as root: update-guestfs-appliance", but
update-guestfs-appliance is provided by libguestfs-tools, not by guestfish.

Best regards,
Gabriel
