Libguestfs - Jan 2016 - Re: error in virt-resize

I had some more ideas overnight:

(1) Check that libparted0 is installed on the *host*.

(2) Try to find out what libraries the parted binary requires on
the host and appliance.  On the host:

  ldd /usr/bin/parted

On the appliance:

  virt-rescue --scratch
  ><rescue> ldd /usr/bin/parted

(3) Remove the appliance and recreate it:

  rm -rf /var/tmp/.guestfs-*
  libguestfs-test-tool

(4) As this is ancient Debian, try rebuilding the supermin appliance:

  sudo update-guestfs-appliance

rebuilding the appliance did not help at all.
> sudo update-guestfs-appliance
no such tool

You could try the binary appliance:

  http://libguestfs.org/download/binaries/appliance/

Instructions are in the README file.

IIRC if you already have libguestfs built, you just have to set the
LIBGUESTFS_PATH to point to the directory where you unpacked the
appliance.  Make sure you use the 1.20.12 appliance, as other ones
won't be compatible.
