Description of problem:
libguestfs fails to build if fuse with its fusermount binary is not installed. There is already a BuildRequires of fuse-devel and a Requires of fuse, but fuse should also be listed as a BuildRequires. The build fails due to a number of tests requiring fusermount to function properly. The tests are not simply skipped if fusermount is not present, but instead, the tests fail.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.28.1-1.18
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ensure fuse is not installed
2. rpmbuild --define %_topdir /builddir/libguestfs -ba SPECS/libguestfs.spe
Actual results:
These tests fail:
FAIL: test-xattrs-fuse.sh
FAIL: test-parallel-mount-local
FAIL: test-mount-local.sh
FAIL: test-virt-sysprep-script.sh
FAIL: test-fuse
FAIL: test-fuse-umount-race.sh
FAIL: test-guestmount-fd
The error message in each is similar to:
libguestfs: guestfs__mount_local: fuse_mount /tmp/lieYxhyH9K
fuse: failed to exec fusermount: No such file or directory
libguestfs: trace: mount_local = -1 (error)
Expected results:
The tests should pass or get skipped. fuse's installation should be enforced by having it as a BuildRequires.
Additional info:
Installing fuse prior to building the package makes the tests pass.

It seems like a few things conspire here:
(1) On RHEL builders, /dev/fuse is not available, so fuse tests are
skipped. This would be different if building using rpmbuild.
(2) On Fedora, we BuildRequire zfs-fuse which pulls in fuse. On RHEL
we don't have zfs-fuse.
Anyway, it does appear to be a bug in both RHEL and Fedora. I have
fixed it in Fedora.
Verified with the packages:
libguestfs-1.28.1-1.55.el7.x86_64
Verify steps:
1. remove the fuse package
# yum remove fuse
2. build the libguestfs
# rpmbuild --define '%_topdir /root/rpmbuild' -ba /root/rpmbuild/SPECS/libguestfs.spec
error: Failed build dependencies:
fuse is needed by libguestfs-1:1.28.1-1.55.el7.x86_64
On RHEL7.2, fuse is needed when rpmbuild libguestfs.
So verified.
