That's fine, you can set up your own custom repositories, we do that at work too. > > > ================================================================================= > How I installed the package on Ubuntu Karmic Koala, installation problems: > ================================================================================= > > "mach" is available in the Ubuntu repositories, but unfortunately only in the > very old release 0.9.1.

> (1, [u'Please report this error in http://yum.baseurl.org/report']) My best guess here (I recall something like that happening to me too) is that the host system needs an rpmlib that has BuiltinLuaScripts as a capability, a recent addition. The host yum doing the installing uses the host rpmlib, not the guest rpmlib, and I'm guessing the rpm/rpmlib ubuntu ships doesn't have this. rpm needs updating on the host for this to work.
