This is the list of unavailable package in Stretch.

E: Package 'gfs-tools' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'gfs2-tools' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'gfs2-utils' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package libsystemd-id128-0
E: Unable to locate package libsystemd-journal0
E: Package 'linux-image' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package ufsutils
E: Package 'module-init-tools' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package procps-ng
E: Unable to locate package util-linux-ng

All the other packages were already installed. Most of these packages 
seem to be available to other Debian branches but not on
Stretch.

The Debian package 'mdadm' is installed on the machine or not?

Assuming it is installed, what is the output of:

  rm -rf tmp/.guestfs-*
  ./run guestfish run : supported

?
