Comment 5 for bug 1743300

Debian has already 5.1.19 in the repo. Ubuntu is on 5.1.14.

I took the patch and applied it to the ubuntu version 5.1.14, generated the packages and it worked with the 4.13 kernel

Subject: [Bug 1743300] Re: libguestfs not work anymore with 4.13.0-26-generic #29~16.04.2-Ubuntu

You've truncated the full log, but I'm going to bet the problem is this
6+ month old bug in supermin which Ubuntu hasn't fixed yet:

https://github.com/libguestfs/supermin/commit/158854e3ba4be7f6b8d81f662ddad98358ede1de

Solutions in decreasing order of preference:

 - Upgrade supermin to latest.

 - Backport just the above patch to supermin.

 - Go back to < 4.13 kernel.
