Description Richard W.M. Jones 2009-05-21 08:39:36 UTC

[Actually this bug is on EPEL-5, but we don't have
a way to file libguestfs bugs against EPEL at the
moment]

On some distributions, chroot is located in /usr/sbin.
If this is not on the path, then you get the error:

  exec: chroot not found

when building the appliance.

The workaround is to add /usr/sbin to PATH.

Moving upstream

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2011-04-12 17:20:47 UTC

All platforms that we care about now have /usr/sbin
in the path.  This does still affect RHEL 5 but we
workaround that in the spec file.
