RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jinxin Zheng 2010-11-26 09:45:41 UTC 
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 09:51:02 UTC 
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 10:08:33 UTC 
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 4 Jinxin Zheng 2011-01-06 03:25:37 UTC 
$ 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.
