[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#935328: libguestfs-tools: virt-sparsify doesn't work if libelogind0 is installed on the host

[Daniel Reichelt]

Package: libguestfs-tools
Version: 1:1.40.2-2
Severity: important

Hi,

I'm running buster with sysvinit instead of systemd, so I also have libelogind0
installed instead of libsystemd0. Now, when I run virt-sparsify, it crashes.
Running with export LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1 shows:

I suppose this renders everything around guestfs involving a supermin applicance with guestfsd unusable.

Please let me know if you need more information.


Thanks
