After some updates to our Linux Debian server we tried to virtualize it with vCenter Converter Standalone. Before the update this process worked multiple times, but now we got a "Unable to reconfigure the destination virtual machine." error. I'll paste the more specific message at the end of the post. After reading the error log and doing some research I came to the conclusion that the converter needs to find some modules in /lib folder and the update moved the files from /lib to /lib/i386-linux-gnu.
How do I tell the converter that those files exist in different folder?
Here is the error:
