Hi Rich,


I removed /tmp/.guestfish-* and getting same error (ostensibly same error output).


willmore at sm-vm:~$ cpio -itv < /usr/lib/guestfs/supermin.d/init.img
-rwxr-xr-x   1 willmore willmore     3280 Dec 10 19:34 init
7 blocks


Regards,
Chris

Actually I was thinking of this bug which is different:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=666880

However still interested to see the output from the above command.

Also try forcing the appliance to get rebuilt.  Remove the temporary
cache directory (usually in /tmp/.guestfs-* or /var/tmp/.guestfs-*).

Rich.
