the maintainer is currently Ubuntu, but they stuck at version 5.2.1, which was released in Jan 2021. would Pop! compile a more updated version (say 5.3.1)?
zstd formated Kernel has conflicts with the 5.2.1, causing issues with libguestfs, but it’s fixed upstream on 5.3.1+.

Supermin appliances are tiny appliances, similar to virtual machine images, usually arround 100KB in size, which get fully instantiated on-the-fly in a fraction of a second to a filesystem image when they are booted.
Any instructions for QA to replicate the issue?
Yes @mmstick
@mmstick@lemmy.world, as of kernel 6.6.6, the supermin is working. Just wonder if the kernel is zstd compressed?
Install latest Pop OS with say kernel 6.5.6…
Install libguestfs-tools
running virt-sparsify gives the following error

Below is my error from running libguestfs-test-tool (edit: with sudo)
