Lee, does this command give you any output: rpm -q --qf '[%{FILENAMES} %{FILEFLAGS:fflags}\n]' -a | grep ' .* ' The idea of the command is to see if any of the paths printed by RPM contain a space. That's going to print all paths on your system that contain a space, which is not the actual failure. I think the failure is that a path of a package depended on by libguestfs now contains a space .. not sure which package that will be yet.
There is a scratch build of supermin with a patch that makes the RPM handler use tab instead of space, so it should now be robust against spaces in filenames. Please let me know if this works. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6870510
