  You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest

  Subject: [CentOS-virt] Updated libvirt packages (2.2.0-1) in testing

  The CentOS 7.3 release updated to libvirt 2.0, which is now taking precedence over the previous virt sig libvirt packages (which were
  1.3).

  I’ve pulled in the changes from Fedora 25, which uses libvirt 2.2.0. I’ve built and tested them for CentOS 7 and they work for me. (I’m having some infrastructure issue testing C6.)

  Please test them if you have an opportunity. I’ll leave them there for a week and then push them to release if I don’t have any complaints.

  Thanks,
  -George

• Did you enable the testing repo?

  yum –enablerepo

• Hmm — I didn’t realize that libvirt shipped their own source rpms.

  There seem to be two distinct classes of users: those who want the newest thing all the time, and those who want to stick with what’s working as long as possible before upgrading. On the whole, CentOS
  seems to be more focused on the second class of people. So I was looking to do a single version bump that we could stick with until the next time there’s a compelling reason to update. Libvirt 2.2 the most recent one used in any Fedora release. As such, in terms of”aftercare” like bug fixes, it will probably get better and for longer than other releases. So it seemed like a good option.

  I’m open to other suggestions, but “update every release” is probably not suitable for the main Xen repo. I wouldn’t be opposed if someone wanted to step up and maintain a repo themselves, though. :-)

• Thank you. I will try the CentOS-virt-xen-testing in development hopefully soon.

• George, Thank you SO much, problem solved using the testing repo. Regards Francis
