RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Huang Wenlong 2011-03-22 05:39:51 UTC

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

Comment 2 Matthew Booth 2011-03-22 09:22:05 UTC

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.
