Hi, please allow libguestfs/1:1.54.1.2+deb13u1 to be uploaded. [ Reason ] libguestfs/1:1.54.1.2 as shipped with trixie has dependencies set so that either isc-dhcp-client or dhcpcd can be used to provide network connectivity to the VM spawned by libguestfs. However, activating networking only works if the host has the dhcpcd package installed. Most notably, this affects utilities that need network access to install packages, such as virt-builder, virt-install, and virt-customize, cf. #1111785 or [1] [ Impact ] Users will need to install a seemingly unrelated package (dhcpcd) as a workaround. [ Tests ] On my Debian/trixie-based workstation, the package shows no regressions. A friend has confirmed that on a Proxmox VE 9 default installation, virt-builder et al can now be used without the workaround mentioned above. [ Risks ] I don't expect anything obvious to break. [ Checklist ] [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable [?] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable The upload of libguestfs/1:1.56.2-2 to unstable is sitting in NEW at the moment, but it contains the same fix. [ Changes ] Package isc-dhcp-client is added to the build-dependencies. This causes the package name to be added to the Supermin appliance's packagelist (/usr/lib/<multiarch-triplet>/guestfs/supermin.d/packages) which is shipped as part of the libguestfs0t64 binary package. The build-dependency had previously been removed when switching to dhcpcd (see #1106125, [2]). The packagelist now contains both isc-dhcp-client and dhcpcd. Since supermin cannot deal with alternative dependencies it will only add files from those packages into the sppliance that can actually be found on the host system. The init script[3] then figures out which DHCP client to choose. [ Other info ] Users of downstream distributions (Proxmox VE 9, Ubuntu 24+) may also find this update useful.
