FATAL: Error parsing metadata: YAML Error: Invalid element in map#012   Code: YAML_LOAD_ERR_BAD_MAP_ELEMENT#012   Line: 3#012   Document: 1#012 at /usr/share/perl5/YAML.pm line 36

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-v2v-0.8.1-1.fc14

Comment 1 Matthew Booth 2011-05-16 17:15:38 UTC

It turns out that perl's YAML module can't reliably parse YAML produced by ruby. However, YAML::Syck and YAML::Tiny both can. virt-p2v-server uses YAML::Any, which actually uses these other modules by preference if they are installed, so the workaround is to install either of these modules manually.

The virt-v2v package requires perl(YAML::Any), which is only provided by perl-YAML (which doesn't work). As not all modules work, virt-p2v-server should pick a specific alternative module and require it explicitly.
