I'm trying to use virt-sysprep on an Ubuntu 13.10 vm running on OpenStack.
I've followed the command "gotchas" from the FAQ and still not had any luck.

*What are you trying to do?*

Attempting to use virt-sysprep on a qcow2 image made with virt-install

*What commands?*

I've run virt-sysprep (with both -d and -a options) and gotten the
following error:

Fatal error: exception Guestfs.Error("guestfs_launch failed.
This usually means the libguestfs appliance failed to start or crashed.
See http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html#debugging-libguestfs
or run 'libguestfs-test-tool' and post the *complete* output into a
bug report

I then went through the FAQ and followed the recommended steps.

Running libguestft-test-tool yields:
