Description of problem: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2011-June/msg00135.html I think this is a case of ri-record pointing to a second level ri-record which we've never seen before, but I have not had time to look into this in detail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hivex 1.2.7. Steps to Reproduce: See the software hive attached to the email message above.
There is a potential fix, which needs review, posted upstream: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2012-March/msg00035.html
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
The fix was added to hivex last year (commit c29d2625c2286b026c4e36a8b5469991c41b4299) although write support still doesn't work. I have opened a separate bug about write support (bug 987463). Therefore I am closing this bug.
19 part patch posted upstream: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2013-July/thread.html#00026
This should be fixed in hivex 1.3.8 which is available here: http://libguestfs.org/download/hivex/ and in Fedora Rawhide.
hivex-1.3.8-1.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/hivex-1.3.8-1.fc19
hivex-1.3.8-1.fc19 has been pushed to the Fedora 19 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
