see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=924501 also.
Comment 3 Jaroslav Suchanek 2016-07-02 06:38:22 UTC 
As a workaround you can try to create a qemu group manually
# groupadd -f -r qemu
and then install the libvirt
# yum install libvirt

Does it help?
Comment 4 Gary Gatling 2016-07-05 15:36:06 UTC
