This is because of (what we think may be) a bug in the EPEL repository: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/2982 You can easily use KVM however. Just set the LIBGUESTFS_QEMU environment variable: export LIBGUESTFS_QEMU=/usr/bin/qemu-kvm See also: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#qemu_wrappers Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.
