Public bug reported: This problem happens with the vmbuilder on trunk.
When running vmbuilder I passed in an option like --execscript setup-karmic-server where "setup-karmic-server" was an executable file in my current directory. vmbuilder output the following messages which give a warm fuzzy: 2009-11-23 04:43:15,002 DEBUG : Checking if --exec PATH exists: setup-karmic-server 2009-11-23 04:43:15,002 DEBUG : Checking permissions of --exec PATH: setup-karmic-server It proceeded to build the entire image, then tried to run my script. At this point, it died with the error: Couldn't find the program 'setup-karmic-server' on your system If it's really checking to make sure that the script exists and is executable it might also check to make sure that the script is in the path, or add the current working directory to the path. The workaround is to specify a full path like --execscript $(pwd)/setup-karmic-server but this was an annoying thing to have to run into and to run again, so it would be nice to save others the hassle.
