Bug 477902 – app-emulation/libguestfs-1.20.6 should install /usr/bin/virt-resize

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Ernest CHIARELLO 2013-07-23 13:02:38 UTC]

hello,

virt-resize is not present in libguestfs-1.20.6

# epm -ql libguestfs | grep virt-resize
#

but it should be, because "Virt-resize is a tool which can resize a virtual machine disk, making it larger or smaller overall, and resizing or deleting any partitions contained within".

on my Ubuntu host, it is present :

$ dgkg -L libguestfs | grep virt-resize
$ /usr/bin/virt-resize
$ /usr/share/man/man1/virt-resize.1.gz

but not on my Gentoo host :-(
Linux accort 3.8.13-gentoo #1 SMP Tue Jul 23 11:39:09 CEST 2013 x86_64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5345 @ 2.33GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

an idea ?


Ernest.

IMHO it would be very helpful to have this announced in a message before/after installing this package.
