Libguestfs - Sep 2014 - Re: Virt-v2v conversion issue

Ok, I've removed all the files relating to libguestfs in /usr/local/, but
the error message is still the same.

I don't think we have a way to 'make install-clean' or whatever.

I would do:

  find /usr/local -type f | sort | less

and remove anything which looks like it came from libguestfs or supermin.

For comparison, you can look at the files installed by libguestfs official
packages by doing:

  rpm -ql `rpm -qa | egrep 'guestf|virt-v2v'` | sort | less

For information, I had still an issue "unknown filesystem type
'ntfs'", even though I ahve libguestfs-winsupport installed, I
decided to to try a:
 yum reinstall libguestfs-winsupport
and the conversion seems to run well, just wait and see....
Thank you Richard anyway for your help

This happens because installing (any) package causes the RPM database
to be touched, causing supermin to rebuild the appliance in
/var/tmp/.guestfs-<UID>/  Before the reinstall, this contained the old
appliance from the /usr/local copy of libguestfs.

rm -rf /var/tmp/.guestfs-* would have also worked.
