Package: libguestfs-tools Version: 1:1.25.26-1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
the libguestfs-tools package provides the binaries guestmount and update-guestfs-appliance which together can be used to mount filesystems from disk images purely in user space. Unfortunately, installing libguestfs-tools also drags in zfs-fuse through its Depends on libguestfs0 and libvirt-bin through its Depends on libsys-virt-perl. Unfortunately zfs-fuse and libvirt-bin will run services in the background upon installation. I replaced zfs-fuse and libvirt-bin by empty equiv packages and found out that the functionality of guestmount and update-guestfs-appliance does not depend on zfs-fuse or libvirt-bin being installed or their services running. My plea is, to make it possible to use guestmount and update-guestfs-appliance without having to install zfs-fuse and libvirt-bin and in turn having to run their respective services in the background. So please either demote the involved dependencies to Recommends or split out the libguestfs-tools and guestmount binaries into a new package which does not directly or indirectly depend on zfs-fuse and libvirt-bin. Thanks! cheers, josch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
