Comment 2 Matthew Booth 2011-03-22 09:22:05 UTC 
virt-v2v has no direct dependency on libvirt. It requires libvirt's perl bindings, which in turn require libvirt. This dependency is there in the package:

$ rpmquery -p --requires virt-v2v-0.7.1-4.el6.x86_64.rpm | grep '(Sys::Virt)'
perl(Sys::Virt)  

The fedora package requires a specific version of libvirt because of a quirk which arose during the F14 lifecycle. F14 originally included a version of libvirt containing a bug which prevented it from talking to RHEL 5. I added a temporary explicit version dependency to ensure that the new version was picked up. I will remove it at some point.
