[Libguestfs] "aug_init: Augeas initialization failed" on Fedora

[Adam Huffman]

I encountered this when trying to build images with Boxgrinder.  I
updated to the test build for F17 and the initial error was fixed.
However, there's another Augeas-related error, which I'll send here so
it doesn't pollute the existing bug report:
