[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#832592: libvirt-daemon: KVM is not recognized as supported virtualization

[Jozsef Kadlecsik]

Package: libvirt-daemon
Version: 1.2.9-9+deb8u3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading from wheezy to jessie, libvirt-daemon stopped to recognize
KVM as virtualization. All already defined guests are forgotten:

root at atlas0:~# virsh list --all
 Id    Name                           State
----------------------------------------------------

root at atlas0:~# virsh -c qemu:///sytem list --all
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: no connection driver available for qemu:/sytem

In /var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log one can see the error message:

2016-07-26 09:33:39.997+0000: 27933: error : virDriverLoadModule:73 : failed
to load module /usr/lib/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_qemu.so
/usr/lib/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_qemu.so: undefined symbol:
virStorageFileCreate

One can find reports on "libvirt_driver_qemu.so: undefined symbol:
virStorageFileCreate" from other distributions and those refer to an
upgrade for the device-mapper as a fix.

Best regards,
Jozsef
