Note the '/usr/local/lib/…' path here. This version of libvirt.so.0 is most likely older than the one in the libvirt0 package. Probably at some time in the past you installed it. > The Fedora package libvirt-libs > <https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/libvirt/libvirt-libs/fedora-38.html> > 9.0.0 states that it provides > libvirt.so.0(LIBVIRT_PRIVATE_9.0.0)(64bit), so I'm not sure why the > Debian package wouldn't be the same way, or why virt-manager works but > virsh does not. > > I just filed a bug > <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1035808> (that was > my time using the Debian bug tracking system).
