Hi Cesar,
thank you for your report - although I must admit I need to understand your
point a bit better.
Here my initial check of your case, please comment on it so we find if/what
action one should take.
First of all - what is libvirt0 - it is the collection of .so files, the actual
library that libvirt is.
That means files like:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvirt.so.0
Furthermore lets check why it was installed for you, you listed "qemu-kvm
package, and virt-manager with all recommended dependencies":
- qemu-kvm you can install even with recommends it will not bring libvirt in
- virt-manager "depends" on the python-libvirt it was built for and that
depends on the matching
libvirt0 then.
I'd expect a self built/installed libvirt to conflict with the packaged one
anyway.
The self build one likely picks up the .so files from the packaged version.
When you start your custom built libvirtd you'd need to ensure it does not pick
up those.
But I mist admit - and I beg your pardon if I overlook something - I
don't consider this an issue of the packaging - libs conflict with the
same libs in other paths, I miss the special part.
If we would make libvirt0 a metapackage we would just need a different
package to carry the .so's and that would conflict with your manual
built libvirt.
My personal way to go in your case would be to install all from the archive as
usual; Then stop and disable the libvirt service. And finally for your custom
build libvirt make sure it picks up only its own libraries which should fix
your conflict.
That implies that the packaged virt-manager can work with the python-libvirt
that you have to provide it from your manual build then.
