[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#740114: libvirt-bin: virsh iface-list: error: Failed to list interfaces

[Kenneth Johansson]

Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 1.2.1-1
Severity: normal

I cant use virt-manager to add new virtual machines as when I get to the 
network tab things fail.
It looks to be a libvirt problem as the virsh also has problems with 
network interfaces.

~# virsh iface-list
error: Failed to list interfaces
error: internal error: failed to get number of host interfaces: 
unspecified error - errors in loading some config files


some selected logs in
/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log

2014-02-25 21:07:31.609+0000: 24833: error : 
netcfConnectNumOfInterfacesImpl:315 : internal error: failed to get 
number of host interfaces: unspecified error - errors in loading some 
config files
2014-02-25 21:07:44.451+0000: 24827: error : 
netcfConnectListAllInterfaces:591 : internal error: failed to get number 
of host interfaces: unspecified error - errors in loading some config files


Not very helpfull knowing some config is wrong but no pointer to what.
googling for this didn't really turn up that much so I could not solve 
it myself.
