[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#499008: Fails to install: Starting libvirt management daemon: libvirtd failed!

[Riku Voipio]

Package: libvirt
Version: 0.4.4-3
Severity: serious

ocaml-libvirt build-logs on arm, mips and powerpc:

http://buildd.debian.org/~jeroen/status/package.php?suite=unstable&p=ocaml-libvirt

Since these archs have little in common, the issue is probably something
specific to the buildd env libvirt-bin daemon fails to take in account.

Installing:
--snip--
Setting up libvirt-bin (0.4.4-3) ...
Adding group `libvirt' (GID 111) ...
Done.
Starting libvirt management daemon: libvirtd failed!
invoke-rc.d: initscript libvirt-bin, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing libvirt-bin (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
 Setting up libvirt-dev (0.4.4-3) ...
--snip--

Also, it's failing ot run delgroup on purge:

--snip--
Stopping libvirt management daemon: libvirtd.
Purging configuration files for libvirt-bin ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libvirt-bin.postrm: line 25: delgroup: command not
found
dpkg - warning: while removing libvirt-bin, directory `/var/run/libvirt'
not empty so not removed.
Removing libvirt-dev ...
--snip--

This bug blocks the migration of ocaml-libvirt to testing,
thus keeping the RC bug #496333 open.

"rm -rf" only sounds scary if you don't have backups
