This is a new one to me. The missing library comes from something
called "keyutils" that as far as I know we don't use directly. It may
be an indirect dependency of another library.
A workaround would be something like this:
echo '/usr/lib/ libkeyutils. so*' > /usr/lib/ guestfs/ supermin. d/zz-keyutils
(You might need to adjust the paths)
It would be interesting to find out exactly which binary or library needs guestfs/ supermin. d/daemon. tar.gz) and examining it with
this library, which you can do by unpacking guestfsd (probably in
/usr/lib/
the "eu-readelf -d" command, looking for NEEDED lines. You'll probaby
need to reduce through all the dependent libraries, since as I say
I don't think guestfsd itself needs this library.
Also it would be interesting to know if this bug happens with libguestfs
is built from sources.
