Libguestfs - May 2012 - "ext2: parent directory not found" with Ubuntu 12.04

Hi all,
On the most libguestfs commands (guestfish, virt-*), I have always the
same message:

"febootstrap-supermin-helper: ext2: parent directory not found: /lib:
File not found by ext2_lookup"

I'm aware of a similar bug with the old package [1]:

"Note on febootstrap (may not be directly related to this bug):
You need 3.14 to work around that. I would recommend using at least 3.14.

https://github.com/libguestfs/febootstrap/commit/6987ad1529dd67e7e1c990fe5b011c51e8625837
Furthermore, febootstrap <= 3.14 reveals a bug in e2fsprogs, which
needs to be worked around with another patch:

https://github.com/libguestfs/febootstrap/commit/386b5985098fedf7bcd111553b8b6b73599df6c9"

But I use last packages of Seabios / libguestfs-bin which contain all
the patchs.

Any hint?

Thanks.

To be clear, are you using febootstrap 3.14-2 from here?
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/febootstrap

Please run libguestfs-test-tool and post the *complete* output.
