Description of problem: Converting ESX RHEL VM's to KVM VM's, the process is failing possibly because the version of vmware-tools in use is later than the code can cope with. This has been tried with both the vmware-tools packages installed on the VM and un-installed, each time resulting in this sort of messages in the error logs: command: command: error: Failed dependencies: vmware-tools-foundation >= 0:9.0.1 is needed by (installed) vmware-tools-libraries-nox-0:9.0.1-2.x86_64 at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Sys/VirtConvert/GuestfsHandle.pm line 204. The v2v code doesn't attempt to remove the vmware-tools-libraries-nox package, hence the error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-v2v-0.8.9-2.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Consistently on same systems, with and without vmware tools on the guest. Steps to Reproduce: Conversion command is: virt-v2v -ic ${ESXHOST} \ -os ${STROAGEPOOL} \ -oa "sparse" \ -of "raw" \ --bridge "bridge1" \ -on ${ESXVM}-v2v \ ${ESXVM} Actual results: Conversion fails with: command: command: error: Failed dependencies: vmware-tools-foundation >= 0:9.0.1 is needed by (installed) vmware-tools-libraries-nox-0:9.0.1-2.x86_64 at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Sys/VirtConvert/GuestfsHandle.pm line 204. Expected results: Conversion succeeds. Additional info:
