Description Moritz Duge 2023-09-25 10:35:22 UTC 
guestfs-tools are broken on openSUSE-LEAP-15.5.
I've tested virt-format an guestmount. And both give me this error:

libguestfs: error: cannot find any suitable libguestfs supermin, fixed or old-style appliance on LIBGUESTFS_PATH (search path: /usr/lib64/guestfs)

Tested on a freshly booted openSUSE-LEAP-15.5 live cd.
https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.5/live/openSUSE-Leap-15.5-KDE-Live-x86_64-Build10.117-Media.iso
sudo zypper in guestfs-tools
fallocate -l64M disk.img
virt-format -a disk.img

Works on Tumbleweed (20230921).

please run:
libguestfs-test-tool


are you sure that libguestfs-appliance is installed on your system? The deps issue has been fixed in TW (https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212972)

Indeed, libguestfs-appliance was not installed.

This solves the problem:
zypper in libguestfs-appliance

I guess that dependency should be added to the openSUSE-LEAP-15.5 libguestfs RPM.

I can't see that bug, even when being logged in:

You have already resolved the problem but the fix for this problem may be
tested with RPMs found here.

The official openSUSE-LEAP-15.5 update repo will have the fix in the coming
days.
