Description of problem: virt-v2v should require libvirt because virt-v2v need libvirt if there is not libvirt in system ,the v2v can not work . Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-v2v-0.7.1-4 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.rpm -q virt-v2v --requires 2. 3. Actual results: not requires libvirt Expected results: requires libvirt Additional info: Fedora's v2v requires libvirt libvirt >= 0.8.1 is needed by (installed) virt-v2v-0.7.1-1.fc14.i686
virt-v2v has no direct dependency on libvirt. It requires libvirt's perl bindings, which in turn require libvirt. This dependency is there in the package: $ rpmquery -p --requires virt-v2v-0.7.1-4.el6.x86_64.rpm | grep '(Sys::Virt)' perl(Sys::Virt) The fedora package requires a specific version of libvirt because of a quirk which arose during the F14 lifecycle. F14 originally included a version of libvirt containing a bug which prevented it from talking to RHEL 5. I added a temporary explicit version dependency to ensure that the new version was picked up. I will remove it at some point.
