Public bug reported:
The package libvirt0-1.3.1-1ubuntu10.10 included in Ubuntu 16.04 breaks
libvirt-bin 3.4+ compiled from official libvirt sources. It should be replaced
by a dummy package.
I've tested this with libvirt 3.4 and libvirt 3.5, both versions will fail if
libvirt0 is installed.
To reproduce:
1. Install qemu-kvm package, and virt-manager with all recommended
dependencies. libvirt0 gets automatically installed.
2. Download, compile and install libvirt 3.4+ from the official sources.
3. attempt to restart the libvirtd service.
Expected behavior:
The service should have worked.
What really happened:
The service failed to start without any useful information about why.
Temporary workaround:
1. forcefully uninstall libvirt0 ignoring dependencies: "dpkg -r
--ignore-depends=libvirt0 libvirt0"
2. reinstall the compiled version of libvirt (for good measure)
3. For each update: do "apt-get -f install" first, do the updates and uninstall
libvirt0 again.
Everything seems to be working fine without libvirt0, except of course,
APT, which wants to fix the dependency issue.
Suggested fix:
Make libvirt0 a metapackage, so it installs an updated version of libvirt.
3.4.0 is stable, and there's no special requirements to create a usable .deb
package.
