When I execute virt-copy-in command on a kvm host(Debian7.1), I got error saying "guestfish not found". However according to the dpkg comamnd, guestfish do have been installed:

john@sver:~$ dpkg-query -l | grep guestfs*
ii libguestfs-perl ...
ii libguestfs-tools ...
ii libguestfs0 ...

What's the problem? Is the libguestfs-tools not the guestfish in Debian? Or it's just a broken dependency in libguestfs-tools in Debian7.1(my KVM Host)?
