Description of problem: the guest agent doesn't start, because ovirt-guest-agent.py is not exectuable Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ovirt-guest-agent/stable,now 1.0.10.2.dfsg-2 all [installed] installed from official debian repo How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: guest agent won't start Expected results: guest agent starts just fine Additional info: the systemd unit file calls /etc/init.d/ovirt-guest-agent start on start which performs the following check: bash -x /etc/init.d/ovirt-guest-agent start + PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin + DESC='oVirt management agent' + NAME=ovirt-guest-agent + DAEMON=/usr/share/ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent.py + DAEMON_ARGS= + PIDFILE=/var/run/ovirt-guest-agent.pid + SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/ovirt-guest-agent + '[' -x /usr/share/ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent.py ']' + exit 0 just add the executable bit and you are fine :-) tested on debian 8.5 x64 PS: I hope this is not fixed in later versions, because this fix should really make it into debian stable, shouldn't it?
