In Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS on i386 update-guestfs-appliance fails with the following error message:
E: No downloadable files for libgnutls26 version 2.12.20-2ubuntu1; perhaps it is a local or obsolete package?
I tried to run this command in an attempt to fix bug #1186228. That bug coupled with this one means that guestfish is non-functional on my system.
Package versions:
libguestfs0: 1:1.14.8-1
qemu-kvm: 1.0+noroms-0ubuntu14.12
febootstrap: 3.14-2

Sorry, this bug is invalid. I forgot that I had manually upgraded libgnutls26 so that I could install a newer version of git-annex. I downgraded to 12.04's repository version of the package and update-
I was pretty sure that I checked libgnutls26's version before opening this bug report, but it turns out I didn't.
