Libguestfs - Jul 2017 - Re: [virt-v2v] no installed kernel packages were found Converting CentOS OVA to KVM

While trying to convert an OVA exported from VMware vSphere to libvirt using
virt-v2v, I get the following error:

virt-v2v: error: no installed kernel packages were found.

Environment info:

Base OS: 16.04.2 LTS (Xenial Xerus)
Source VM OS: CentOS 7
libguestfs: 1.37.16 (built from source)

Relevant logs are attached.

Thanks,
Zach

Is this the same or different from the bug that Pino already
triaged earlier today?

OK, it's a bit different, my apologies.

Please post the full output with ‘virt-v2v -v -x’ options both
enabled.  We use this debugging information to see how inspection and
v2v are working.
