Hi, thanks for the bug report, and sorry for the breakage.

I don't understand why that test is failing with your patch. It has a
hard coded "/usr/sbin/dnsmasq", but patching that does not make a
difference. It seems the lookup via virFindFileInPath, which ultimately
calls out to GLib's g_find_program_in_path, fails; but ostensibly using
an absolute file name should not make a difference[0].

Anyway, I was able to reproduce the failure in the system test:

And can confirm your patch fixes that, which is arguably more important.
So I went ahead and committed your patch (and disabled the failing
test), and the system test to avoid future regressions in this area.
Fixed in:
acbf2f9def gnu: libvirt: Use absolute dnsmasq.
3e0abde17b tests: libvirt: Ensure the default network can be started.
