[Bug 341596] Re: vmbuilder for vmserver fails with vmxtemplate undefined

[spiceisland]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: ubuntu-vm-builder
  
  This is under Jaunty alpha 5(ish).
  
  Having followed the instructions on
  https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/jeos-and-vmbuilder.html, I
  managed to install ubuntu-vm-builder and get apt-proxy installed and
- running in order to create a kvm-based ubunt-hardy image thus:
+ running in order to create a kvm-based ubuntu-hardy image thus:
  
  vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --suite hardy --flavour virtual --arch i386 -o
  --mirror http://localhost:9999/ubuntu --addpkg acpid
  
  The resulting image boots quite happily under kvm.
  
  I then decided to re-run the command to produce a VMWare Server
  equivalent:
  
  vmbuilder vmserver ubuntu --suite hardy --flavour virtual --arch i386 -o
  --mirror http://localhost:9999/ubuntu --addpkg acpid
  
  This NEARLY works, but dies at the last moment:
