[SOLVED] libvirt will not start after update?..

Updated today, now cannot start local network interface in libvirt, which prevents virtuals from running. Trying to start the interface produces error dialog:

Error starting network 'local1': direct firewall backend requested, but /sbin/ebtables is not available: No such file or directory

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 91, in cb_wrapper
    callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 127, in tmpcb
    callback(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/network.py", line 104, in start
    self._backend.create()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 2635, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virNetworkCreate() failed', net=self)
libvirtError: direct firewall backend requested, but /sbin/ebtables is not available: No such file or directory

UPDATE: installing "community/ebtables" package and restarting librirtd service did the trick

You should have been able to figure that out from the error pretty soon. Could you mark this thread as solved?
