Description Richard W.M. Jones 2010-10-22 17:40:41 UTC
Originally reported by Andreis_Vinogradovs (slepnoga) here:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302614#c7

Description of problem:

If we are configured with --disable-appliance, then there
is no point checking for febootstrap and debootstrap, since
they cannot be needed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libguestfs 1.5.21

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove febootstrap, debootstrap or use a platform which
   doesn't have either.
2. ./configure --disable-appliance --disable-daemon
3.

Actual results:

configure prints
Either febootstrap or debootstrap must be installed

Expected results:

Should not print that because these are only required to
build the appliance.

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-10-26 11:34:51 UTC
This is NOTABUG.  It's already fixed in the latest libguestfs
by commit ef044690c54deb597bfe706cb88849dda5ebe8fc (since March 2010)
so whatever ancient version of libguestfs you were trying, you need
to upgrade to a much newer version.
