10 thoughts on - Yum Update Failing With Libvirt-daemon Error

• I’v also got this issue when trying to update my CentOS 7.3 systems. I did see a new user request that mentioned beginning to help with libvrit 2.0
  and/or 2.5 updates. Just not sure what to do in the short term? Any hints/help would be appreciated:

  You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem

• Anyone have an idea of what may have happened or how to fix? I’m only seeing this issue after the OS update to CentOS 7.3. Thanks PJ

• I am still waiting in hope someone will have an idea on what to do. Perhaps I should do this:-

  boot into a normal kernel uninstall CentOS-virt update the system reinstall CentOS-virt

  What do you think?

• It may be worth a try if you can bring down your systems to do that. I have
  4 productions servers in this state with no test option at this moment that is running CentOS 7.3 (the dev box is running 6.8 with same same Xen version). It realy seems odd that only 2 of us have noticed this or have this issue. I have a very basic install on those servers. Along the lines that you are thinking, my standard (manual) minor version update practice for many years on all of my servers has been a recommended script with:
  #!/bin/bash yum -y update glibc\*
  yum -y update yum\* rpm\* pyth\*
  yum -y update mkinitrd nash yum -y update selinux\*
  yum -y update –disablerepo=\* –enablerepo

• PJ
  My server is critical to me, but not the public, fortunately. I can take it down as I suggested, but am a bit reluctant to do so until I have heard more opinions. Presumably your system update failed using your script, so it will probably fail for me if I copy it. I will keep a copy anyway.

• As libvirt from Xen is 1.3.0 and libvirt from CentOS 7.3 is now 2.0.0, libvirt from Xen has to be rebuild to upgrade the new libvirt 2.0.0

  See my previous post :
  https://lists.CentOS.org/pipermail/CentOS-virt/2016-November/005255.html

  I’ve done it for my own repo :

• Dear Jean-Marc, Thank you for replying. I Installed CentOS 7 and CentOS-virt from the normal repos (CentOS-Xen) in December 2015 and have not had to build anything. I am running CentOS 7, not sure if it has automatically updated itself to 7.3, so I would expect the updates to come from the repo, and not need building from source. Regards Francis

• Jiri Denemark has already proposed to help rebuild libvirt for CentOS-Xen but I don’t know if he got all that is need to do so ?

  Maybe I could help also, but I would have to learn the CentOS build system first.

  Regards, Jean-Marc

• Jean-Marc has hit the nail on the head: CentOS 7.3 has updated libvirt, which is now wanting to replace the Virt SIG versions of libvirt.

  Sorry I missed your mail back in November. I’ve actually got a branch you could have sent a pull-request to here:

  https://github.com/CentOS-virt7/xen-libvirt

  However, I’ve got a plan for keeping this in sync with the Fedora packages that I haven’t documented it yet. :-)

  So let me do an update, and also write up some documentation, so that next time you (or someone else) can send pull requests when something like this happens.

• I’ve got the, “me too” issue with this error… No google love so far in getting past it…
