[Libguestfs] [PATCH] added ntfscat_i api

[Richard W.M. Jones]

There's one possible source of the problem:

I discovered that if you don't have all the appliance packages
installed on the host before your first libguestfs build, then any
missing packages don't get added to appliance/supermin.d/packages.
Compare your appliance/packagelist with appliance/supermin.d/packages
and look for packages present in the first file and missing in the
second file -- mdadm may be missing.

If you later install those missing packages, the dependencies in
appliance/Makefile.am never force appliance/supermin.d/packages to be
rebuilt, so those packages will be forever missing from the appliance.
Even 'make -C appliance clean all' will not fix this.

You can work around this with:

  rm appliance/stamp-supermin
  make

which forces appliance/supermin.d/packages to be rebuilt from scratch.

Of course 'git clean -xdf' should have also fixed this, so I don't
know if it applies to the problem you're having.

Rich.
