Hi,<br>
<br>
thanks for the info, we should indeed replace "gdebi" with
"gdebi-core". We'll include this change into the next update.<br>
<br>
We prefer to use "gdebi" by default (not dpkg) to be able to
automatically install necessary dependencies from OS repositories
(e.g., we need gcc & co to install our balloon driver).<br>
<br>
"gdebi: command not found" comes from the following call in the
install script:<br>
<br>
$PKGMNGR $pkgs || $FALLBACK_PKGMNGR $pkgs<br>
<br>
We can suppress stderr here, but on the other hand we will loose
potentially interesting messages in case when gdebi is present but
fails to install a package.<br>
<br>
And indeed we don't have this script published at src.openvz.org,
likely due to the tricky way the guest tools are built.<br>

<br>
I was installing vz-guest-tools-lin for openvz7 via the prlctl
installtools command. The inserted CD image contains an install
script.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
I just wanted to share a little insight and if this could be
improved in the future, that would be great.<br>
