I can't add much to what Cedric already said, except to say that
the error message

is not about augeas on the host, but augeas in the appliance.

Try running:

  $ virt-rescue --scratch

and then see if /usr/lib64/libaugeas.so.* exists.  It probably won't,
which is the root cause of the error.

What should happen in theory is that `supermin --build' copies this
file into the appliance.  You can test that out by doing:

  $ supermin --build -v -f chroot \
      /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d -o /tmp/appliance

and see if /tmp/appliance/usr/lib64/libaugeas.so.* gets created.

If not, then add more -v options (-v -v -v) until you can see what's
going wrong.

Rich.
