libguestfs isn't an EPEL package, so this bug should be filed against RHEL 5. *However* where does this package 'augeas-libs-0.10.0-2.el5' come from? The latest Augeas version in RHEL 5 is 0.7.3. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but it appears that libguestfs and augeas are only in the EPEL repo: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/ * libguestfs-1.2.14-7.el5.i386.rpm * augeas-0.10.0-3.el5.i386.rpm I can't find versions of either package in the base CentOS/RHEL repos.

Yes ... We have libguestfs in RHEL 5 (in a sub-channel), but some very old version (even older than this one). This package shouldn't really be in EPEL at all, or we should update it. No chance you can use RHEL 6.2/6.3? Keeping libguestfs working on EPEL 5 is hard because the kernel and qemu are so old. http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-6.3-preview/ Right now we're stuck on RHEL5, and seeing that RedHat extended RHEL5's lifecycle another 3 years to 2017, I'm guessing we'll still be on RHEL5 for awhile. If this can't be updated in EPEL, are there instructions for building my own copy of the package with this fix? Closing as duplicate of bug 808193. Note it's very unlikely we'll have a modern version of libguestfs for RHEL 5 because qemu and the kernel simply don't support the features we use. See my comments over on the other bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 808193 *** |
