Subject: [PATCH 5/8] guestfs: add OVMF package for UEFI firmware support
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2025 13:12:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250811201230.2145164-6-mcgrof@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250811201230.2145164-1-mcgrof@kernel.org>
The OVMF (Open Virtual Machine Firmware) package provides UEFI firmware
files required by libvirt when creating VMs with UEFI support. Without
this package, libvirt fails with:
libvirtError: operation failed: Unable to find 'efi' firmware that
is compatible with the current configuration
Add ovmf to the Debian dependencies to ensure UEFI firmware is available
for VM creation, particularly when guestfs_requires_uefi is enabled.
