Fixed In Version: libvirt-0.9.4-23.el6_2.5 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, if the libvirt package was built with avahi support, libvirt required the avahi package to be installed on the system as a prerequisite for its own installation. If the avahi package could not be installed on the system due to security concerns, installation of libvirt failed. This update modifies the libvirt.spec file to require only the avahi-libs package. The libvirt package is now successfully installed and libvirtd starts as expected.
