[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#1126867: virt-install: Missing dependency for virt-install

[Andrew Gunawan]

Package: virt-install
Version: 1:5.1.0-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: foss at ndrewsebastiangunawan.mozmail.com

So running virt-install, I get this error

$ virt-install
ERROR    binary '/usr/sbin/libvirtd' does not exist in $PATH: No such file or directory

libvirtd is provided by the libvirt-daemon package. I believe this
should be added to the dependencies of the virt-install package.
