CI repos now contain libvirt-libs 6.0.0-28.module+el8.3.0+7827+5e65edd7. When running an installer built that's linked against 6.0 on an older RHEL host, the installer fails to run:

It's notable that brew is still building against libvirt-libs 4.5, and nightlies remain green. However, CI runs of e2e-metal-ipi are being built with the newer libaries. Theoretically, RHEL is not supposed to do this, as the X.Y of core software should remain to ensure a stable ABI, but I guess as libvirt is now distributed as part of AppStream there are looser requirements.

Ideally we would find a different way to work with libvirt, instead of using the C bindings to avoid problems like this, but in the short term we should build with the oldest X.Y of libvirt libs supported by RHEL 8.
