Package: python-libvirt
Version: 4.6.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After a recent upgrade of libvirt packages I'm no longer able to virtual
networking for libvirt.

I've tried installing firewalld and dnsmasq to fix some of the errors
I've received when attemting to get virtual networking working again.

I have installed the following packages

ii  firewalld                                     0.6.3-1                       
          all          dynamically managed firewall with support for network 
zones
ii  dnsmasq                                       2.79-1                        
          all          Small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP server
ii  dnsmasq-base                                  2.80-1                        
          amd64        Small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP server

I also created symlink from /usr/sbin/iptables to /usr/sbin/ip4tables in
hopes to fix the problem.


I'm still getting this error when attempting to create or start a
network interface.
