Yes, this morning it works, yesterday it wasn't. The only thing that changed is
a reboot, and yesterday I had just upgraded (to try the new version), is it
possible that libvirtd didn't get restarted on upgrade and was still the old
version? If it's this, there's an upgrade bug, otherwise I'm not sure how to
explain the issue!!
