In F17, we intentionally split 'libvirt' into more subpackages. The top-level 'libvirt' package remains as an umbrella package, and for back-compat reasons, it must pull in ALL libvirt support.

Uninstall the 'libvirt' umbrella and instead focus Typo: you do not have to have xen installed to use libvirt-daemon-kvm (you _do_ have to have it installed to use libvirt-daemon-xen). > on the 'libvirt-daemon-*' technologies that you want. (In reply to comment #1) > Uninstall the 'libvirt' umbrella and instead focus > on the 'libvirt-daemon-*' technologies that you want. Thanks, that solved the issue. (In reply to comment #1) > Yes.

This change should have happened during F17 development and not after release. Please consult https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Stable_Releases I agree with Christoph, in particular, since xen was pulled in, the appearance of my grub2 boot menu changed drastically, to accomodate the new xen-related hypervisor options. it was a little shocking and surprising. This is still just in updates-testing and can be unpushed. Eric, please reconsider. Thanks. Reopening - it appears that Cole pulled too many libvirt.spec file changes into the v0.9.11-maint branch. This change is intentional for F18, but we shouldn't be mucking with the package layout of F17. Ok, I see what went wrong here. Initially

Rebased to version 0.9.11.5
CVE-2012-3445 crash in virTypedParameterArrayClear (bz 844734)
Fix libvirt-guests (bz 843836)
Fix occasional loss of domain events in boxes (bz 819617)
added a bunch of bogus deps on the driver modules, which do not exist in Fedora 17 - everything is still linked directly into libvirtd
The next change attempted to fix these bogus deps by renaming them to depend on teh libvirt-daemon-XXX packages. This is *also* bogus. THe libvirt RPM should only depend on the 'libvirt-daemon' package.
Basically we need to revert this delta in F17:
