Description Alfredo Moralejo 2023-05-25 09:03:32 UTC

Description of problem:

Before libvirt-9.3.2 the following commands did install and enable libvirtd with kvm:

dnf install libvirt-daemon-kvm
systemctl start libvirtd
systemctl enable libvirtd

After the update to 9.3.2 this is not longer working as libvirt-daemon is not a dependency for libvirt-daemon-kvm. I'm not sure if this a purpose change but it's changing the behavior of libvirt in C9S in a non-backwards compatible way and i guess will break existing users using libvirt-daemon-kvm.

Comment 1 Jaroslav Suchanek 2023-05-25 14:51:47 UTC

You should not install libvirt sub-packages directly, the recommended procedure is described in the RHEL doc,

Thanks.
