[one-users] OpenNebula and OVA files support

[Jaime Melis]

Hi Alvaro,

yes, we are aware of that issue. While we wait for a newer qemu-img
version, you may want to use VirtualBox instead of qemu-img for this task.
You would need to change this:
https://github.com/OpenNebula/addon-appmarket/blob/master/src/worker/lib/appliance_file_converter.rb#L7

with VBoxManage scripts, something like: VBoxManage clonehd #{s} #{t}
--format VMDK

cheers,
Jaime
