Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-02-27 12:54:11 UTC 
The error is caused by e2fsprogs-libs missing the new
symbol ext2fs_close2:

febootstrap-supermin-helper: symbol lookup error: febootstrap-supermin-helper: undefined symbol: ext2fs_close2
*stdin*:2: libguestfs: error: external command failed, see earlier error messages

I've no idea why that is, because there's not enough information
in this report.  Please supply the complete root.log and build.log
from mock.

Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-02-28 19:59:25 UTC 
Where does febootstrap come from?  e2fsprogs-libs 1.41.12-14
does not contain the new ext2fs_close2 symbol.  But for some
reason your copy of febootstrap is linked against that symbol,
so it must have been built against a newer / upstream e2fsprogs,
and not the version that is installed on your machine.
Comment 6 Levente Farkas 2013-02-28 23:18:58 UTC 
you've got right.
sorry it was my fault:-(
Comment 8 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-06-28 11:05:23 UTC 
General issues with libguestfs rebuilding in mock are fixed
by the rebase (bug 958183).

In this specific case it turned out to be not a bug related
to libguestfs.
