[SOLVED] libvirt 10.6.0-1 missing systemd files

I was trying to build my own copy of libvirt package version 10.6.0-1, and I noticed that the package I built is missing systemd unit files. Obviously first thing was to compare my package sources against sources at https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … ibvirt.git , but there are no differences at all. Both are identical. It appears that for some reason these files are simply not packaged into the libvirt-1:10.6.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar that I've built, but they are in the official mirror.

Then I looked at the makepkg output and noticed libfakeroot errors:

Checking fakeroot history I see that "libfakeroot internal error: payload not recognized!" message was added in version 1.35.1 (as seen at https://launchpadlibrarian.net/73661322 … -1.diff.gz ) which just got released, and I wonder if this could be causing the problem ? Comparing package history, the official libvirt 10.6.0 package would have been built with fakeroot version 1.35 and not 1.35.1 (because libvirt 10.6.0 is one week old, and fakeroot 1.35.1 is 4 days old) so perhaps that's causing some files to be dropped ?

Can anyone please try to reproduce this ?

Re: [SOLVED] libvirt 10.6.0-1 missing systemd files

This has nothing to do with fakeroot and there is no package corruption here - it is simply a packaging bug, the systemd dependency is missing. It was implicitly pulled until recently.

Didn't fix it for me - I have systemd installed anyway - but still packages appear to build successfully.

Re: [SOLVED] libvirt 10.6.0-1 missing systemd files

Well yes - this packages does build successfully anyway, that's not the problem. The problem is that when you install it, the libvirtd.service and other systemd files are not there. They get removed if you did an upgrade; meaning you can no longer start libvirtd
