Description Jinxin Zheng 2010-11-26 04:45:41 EST

Description of problem:
virt-inspector needs (but does not require) perl-String-ShellQuote which is only found in EPEL.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libguestfs-tools-1.6.2-4.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. erase perl-String-ShellQuote if you have it installed, and then install libguestfs-tools.

2.
$ virt-inspector --help
Can't locate String/ShellQuote.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at /usr/bin/virt-inspector line 30.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/virt-inspector line 30.


Additional info:
virt-inspector2 does not have such problem.

Comment 1 Jinxin Zheng 2010-11-26 04:51:02 EST

I can only find the perl-String-ShellQuote file in EPEL:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/beta/6/x86_64/repoview/perl-String-ShellQuote.html

So please add it to RHEL or eliminate the need of it.

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-11-26 05:08:33 EST

Yes, this is a bug too.

I fixed this for virt-make-fs, but forgot that virt-inspector
(old version) was also using String::ShellQuote.

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-11-30 13:47:30 EST

Comment 4 Jinxin Zheng 2011-01-05 22:25:37 EST

$ rpm -q libguestfs-tools
libguestfs-tools-1.7.17-4.el6.x86_64

$ virt-inspector
virt-inspector: no image or VM names given
Usage:
     virt-inspector [--connect URI] domname

     virt-inspector guest.img [guest.img ...]

So we have VERIFIED that the String::ShellQuote problem is no longer present.
