I guess the issue here is the following:

libvirtd.service:Wants=virtlockd.socket
libvirtd.service:After=virtlockd.socket
libvirtd.service:Also=virtlockd.socket


Especially the Also=virtlockd.socket means, that when enabling 
libvirtd.service, it is attempted to enable virtlockd.socket as well.

You don't have that installed though (as libvirt-daemon does not declare 
a hard dependency)

> pn  libvirt-daemon-lock                    <none>

My recommendation would be to drop the "Also=virtlockd.socket" line from
libvirt.service (and "Also=virtlogd.socket" as well), or upgrade the 
weak recommends to a depends for both packages.
