Greetings members, I was installing vz-guest-tools-lin for openvz7 via the prlctl installtools command. The inserted CD image contains an install script.
This script attempts to first run noninteractive apt-get -y install gdebi on debian systems. This pulls in many MBs worth of stuff for Xorg and GTK, since this package contains the gdebi-gtk graphical frontend for gdebi. It is absolutely enough to install gdebi-core, which provides the required gdebi core in /usr/share/gdebi. The installer falls back to dpkg -i anyway so I think the whole gdebi installation is unnecessary. However when you don't install gdebi, the installer spits out many bash errors (gdebi: command not found) as it it constantly falling back to dpkg, which happened to me when I didn't configure the VM network adapter yet. This appears very confusing to the user. I would love to submit a pull request if I could, but I couldn't find vz-guest-tools source published anywhere except on official download site. I just wanted to share a little insight and if this could be improved in the future, that would be great. Regards, Ing.
