This has been on the TODO list a long time. I tested it out here on Debian
Squeeze, and it properly created the package for me. I also tried to install
it, but I got an unresolved dependency:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
oz : Depends: python-guestfs but it is not installable or
python-libguestfs but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
Is libguestfs not in Debian yet?
Yes, if you have the right version. With the version you have,
squeeze (ie. Debian 6), you're best to use my packages here:
http://libguestfs.org/download/binaries/debian-packages/
** note: read the README file! **
For the official libguestfs packages you will have to update quite a
lot of stuff (most of the way to wheezy - future Debian 7):
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libguestfs
BTW is libguestfs a hard dependency of Oz? If not, we should make it
optional -- using Recommends or Suggests as described here:
