| Doc Text: |
The libvirt package was missing a dependency on the avahi-libs package. The dependency is required due to libvirt linking in libavahi-client for mDNS support. As a consequence, the libvirtd daemon failed to start if the libvirt package was installed on the system without the avahi-libs package. With this update, the dependency on avahi-libs is now defined in the libvirt.spec file, and avahi-libs is installed along with libvirt.

Retest it, after install avahi, we should reboot the host, then libvirtd will be started automatically.(In reply to comment #4) > As comment 8 of bug 746111 described, libvirt require avahi rpm package, but if > run "libvirtd" in the foreground, still need mDNS running. > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=746111#c8 Retest this bug, when update libvirt to libvirt-0.9.4-23.el6_2.4.x86_64, it require avahi rpm package installed, and after install it and reboot the host, libvirtd can start in the foreground.

The libvirt package was missing a dependency on the avahi package. The dependency is required due to mDNS support which is turned on by default. As a consequence, the libvirtd daemon failed to start if the libvirt package was installed on the system without Avahi. With this update, the dependency on avahi is now defined in the libvirt.spec file, and Avahi is installed along with libvirt.
I updated the Technical Notes to reflect current reality per Bug 770957.
