libguestfs pulls in the qemu meta-package when instead it should require qemu-system-x86 or qemu-system-ppc
Yup, this is a bug for sure. Will fix, probably not today though.
Mark, some questions: I have a feeling that if /usr/bin/qemu-kvm (the binary) exists, as it does on %{ix86} and x86_64, I should probably just do: BuildRequires: /usr/bin/qemu-kvm The alternative would be to depend on the qemu-kvm package. Any thoughts on that? But ... /usr/bin/qemu-kvm is provided by qemu-system-x86, and qemu-kvm (the package) seems to be an empty virtual package which requires qemu-system-x86. Is qemu-kvm meant as a placeholder for "any arch that might have KVM in the future", or is it an obsolete package? On PPC I guess KVM is not supported (in Fedora, but apparently it *is* by upstream - is this right?) So just a suggestion: if qemu-kvm is a placeholder for "any future arch that has KVM", perhaps we should have a qemu-no-kvm package which is a placeholder for the non-KVM-supported arches?

Actually on small reflection I don't think this makes any sense, since who would want to build only for non-KVM archs? So ignore that bit, but the rest of the question above still stands!
Oh, I hadn't realized - qemu-kvm on ppc/ppc64 requires qemu-system-ppc Easiest just to require qemu-kvm and carry on :-) We don't ship KVM ppc support in Fedora yet, but AFAIK it's just a lack of someone motivated enough to make it happen
