Public bug reported: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Tested with: - libguestfs 1.36.13 (Ubuntu 18.04) - tar v1.29 (Ubuntu 18.04)
How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. # virt-builder debian-8 -o deb8.img --no-network 2. # mkdir ~/deb8fs 3. # virt-copy-out -a deb8.img / ~/deb8fs Actual results: libguestfs: error: file receive cancelled by daemon libguestfs: error: tar subprocess failed: tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors See attached debug.txt log that was produced by using "export LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 and LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1" before running **Note** I have downloaded 1.39.9 from github/libguestfs and this version works without an error in my build directory. It appears that the actual problem is not with "virt-copy-out" specifically, but with the 'guestfish' which it relies on. Running this on 1.36.13 (Ubuntu) fails: # guestfish ><fs> add-drive deb8.img ><fs> run ><fs> tar-out / - | tar tf - libguestfs: error: file receive cancelled by daemon tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors Whereas running the above on guestfish 1.39.9 from git does not produce that error.
