checked with libvirt on RHEL6.1 , and its summary and description are complete with the recent virtualization capabilities .

Comment 1 Jiri Denemark 2011-04-22 07:59:40 UTC
I tried this on a few machines (6.1, 5.6) and the output is correct:

$ rpm -qpi http://download.devel.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/libvirt/0.8.2/18.el5/x86_64/libvirt-0.8.2-18.el5.x86_64.rpm

Summary     : Library providing a simple API virtualization
Description :
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes).

Also libvirt.spec in CVS contains the correct summary and description.

It looks like it only reproduces on that single machine. IMHO it's not worth investigating any further. But if you feel like this should be fixed somehow, move this BZ to rpm component. If not, I'd close it.

Comment 9 RHEL Program Management 2011-09-23 00:52:05 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the
current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this
request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support
representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant,
in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
