Description of problem
Virt-v2v should depend on virtio-win
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-v2v-1.44.0-2.el9.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Check dependence packages of virt-v2v, there is no virtio-win
# yum deplist virt-v2v |grep virtio-win
Last metadata expiration check: 1:30:07 ago on Wed 16 Jun 2021 05:50:32 AM EDT.
Actual results:
v2v converts guest without virtio-win is not a valid test case
Expected results:
As above description
Additional info:
virtio-win will be relevant only on converting Windows VMs, not sure it make sense to always require virtio-win. Maybe a week dependency? https://rpm.org/user_doc/dependencies.html
I would go with "Suggests".

It's actually required for Linux guests too since the ISO contain
qemu-ga. However I don't mind reducing the strength of the dependency,
although I think Recommends is most appropriate as most users will
want virtio-win.
Verify the bug with virt-v2v-1.45.1-1.el9.1.x86_64
Steps
1. Reinstall virt-v2v, can see virtio-win is weak dependency package of virt-v2v
# yum reinstall virt-v2v
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
