[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#953894: libvirt-daemon: hangs on update, file conflicts

[Norbert Preining]

Package: libvirt-daemon
Version: 6.0.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Updating to 6.0.0-2 hangs indefinitely:
...
Setting up libvirt-daemon-system (6.0.0-2) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.libvirt.virt-aa-helper ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/libvirt/virtlockd.conf ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/libvirt/virtlogd.conf ...
Job failed. See "journalctl -xe" for details.
Job for libvirtd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status libvirtd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
virtlockd.service is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it.
virtlogd.service is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it.

....

no reaction after this for long time. 

It seems that
	virsh connect
is running but never actually succeeds.

No further updates or configuration is done.


Furthermore, during update, you have some missing file
replace/breaks/...
