Description Richard W.M. Jones 2012-09-19 12:49:23 UTC
Description of problem:

If you install a Fedora 18 guest using the new anaconda, then
/etc/sysconfig/network is not always created.  I don't know why
this doesn't happen -- possibly because the text based installer
doesn't set the hostname?  Anyway, this breaks virt-sysprep:

# virt-sysprep -d F18Alpha
sysprep operation failed: exception: Guestfs.Error("read_lines: fopen: /etc/sysconfig/network: No such file or directory")

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

libguestfs 1.18, also probably occurs in development branch

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 18 alpha using text installer.
2. Run virt-sysprep on it.

Actual results:

Fails as above.

Reopening.

It turns out this is broken because of:
https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/963
(read that ticket and weep).

I'm going to fix this by setting /etc/hostname if the
version of Fedora detected is >= 18.
