I've reproduced the reported issue, applied the fix as suggested to packaging, and confirmed it resolves the issue. This was done using the server-backports-experimental PPA. I've gone ahead and rolled out the fix to the release PPA:
WAS: libvirt 9.0.0-2ubuntu1.3~backport20.04.202312120050~ubuntu20.04.1 IS: libvirt 9.0.0-2ubuntu1.3~backport20.04.202403200544~ubuntu20.04.1 I believe this should fix the problem, so am closing it as such. If you find it does not fix the original problem, please reopen with status set to New and I'll take another look. Or, if this resolves the original problem but there are additional ones, please file a new bug and let me know. ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2058278 Title: [Backport] libvirt-daemon-system won't install on Focal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/2058278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
