[SOLVED] libvirtd will not start after update

Libvirt timeout when trying to start with systemctl.
I google a bit my first issue and it seemed that installing ebtables should fix it, then i had an issue with dmidecode not installed, but even after installation of the package libvirt fails to load :

$ systemctl start libvirtd.service
Job for libvirtd.service failed because a timeout was exceeded. See "systemctl status libvirtd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Any idea on how to fix this?
I use https://github.com/zman0900/aur-libvirt-git
Updated libvirt to get some commits allowing us to use vendor_id directly in libvirt.

Seems this is a now bug, to fix it :

# cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/libvirtd.service /etc/systemd/system/libvirtd.service 
# sed -i s/notify/simple/ /etc/systemd/system/libvirtd.service 
# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl reenable libvirtd     # If you enabled it before
