Dependency libvirt-bin for Kimchi not satisfiable on Debian 9.x

[verwilst]

OS: Debian 9.x

dpkg -i kimchi-2.5.0-0.noarch.deb

Selecting previously unselected package kimchi. (Reading database ... 52978 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack kimchi-2.5.0-0.noarch.deb ... Unpacking kimchi (2.5.0) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of kimchi: kimchi depends on libvirt-bin; however: Package libvirt-bin is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package kimchi (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: kimchi

libvirt-bin is no longer part of the repositories.

[verwilst]

The package was split into two parts:

libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients

[kerberjg]

Even despite the two replacement packages are installed, dpkg still refuses to configure kimchi until it sees a package named libvirt-bin

Solution: clone and compile Wok and Kimchi from source:

sudo apt-get install python-apt sosreport python-configobj python-parted \
                                  gcc make autoconf automake gettext \

EDIT: updated the script

@kerberjg Hi, I'm having issues installing kimchi inside a ubuntu docker. I run your script, but the command "kimchi" is not recognized, any idea of why this may be happening?

[kerberjg]

I'm pretty sure there isn't a "kimchi" command in my script, can you post your logs/screenshots?

[Nottt]

Sorry for my newbieness, but I can't understand/find the documentation on how I'm supposed to start kimchi.

I basically just create a ubuntu docker with docker create -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash, start it, and get a shell inside it, I then create a .sh file with your script and run it. Everything seems to work OK.

But what now? I can't access it on port 127.0.0.1

[kerberjg]

With Docker it's a bit different, you need to specify the port to expose from inside the container when you're launching it
