[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#773706: libvirt-daemon: Unable to use virtlockd as /usr/lib/libvirt/lock-driver/lockd.so

[Gavin Pidgley]

Package: libvirt-daemon
Version: 1.2.9-6~bpo70+1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

It is not possible to use the libvirtd locking debain with libvirt, as libvirt
is unable to start when setting lock_manager = "lockd" in
/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf

Libvirt is unable to start and the error below is show in the libvirtd.log

Initialization of QEMU state driver failed: Plugin /usr/lib/libvirt/lock-
driver/lockd.so not accessible: No such file or directory

A quick search of the filesystem for lockd.so show that it is not present.

Architecture: amd64
Source: libvirt
Version: 1.2.9-6~bpo70+1

Could you advise?

Kind regards,
Gavin
