Possible to install libguestfs in antiX?

[Member kaye]

It seems I need that file to do something in freedos, but when I try to install it, I get

$ sudo apt install libguestfs
[sudo] password for kaye: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libguestfs

Is it possible to install it or is it better not to install it lest I mess up my antiX ?

Thank you

https://packages.debian.org/search?lang=en&suite=bullseye&searchon=names&keywords=libguestfs
You might need one of these .
There’s no debian package avalaible called libguestfs

kaye, libguestfs is fulfilled by the package “libguestfs0”

sudo apt install libguestfs0

After installing that you can immediately retry your freedos operation…..

but you might want to read
$ man guestfs
to see the associated available commands and their individual specific manpages.
Here’s a portion copied from man guestfs:
