Package: libvirt-daemon Version: 6.0.0-6 Severity: important Hello,
I've been unable to use libvirt for a while and I haven't yet found a workaround or a fix.. This started happening the last time I ran package upgrades. However, since I don't run them very often I'm not sure with which versions of packages it started happening. If it seems relevant to do so, I can test rolling back to older packages to figure out when things started to break down. I've been using libvirt with qemu-kvm for a while. my user is part of the libvirt and kvm groups so I should have access to the local unix sockets. however when I try and connect to libvirt on localhost (either with vagrant-libvirt or with virt-manager) I get an error message that also appears in the service's log as: Apr 16 17:51:47 meevyl libvirtd[544743]: error from service: CheckAuthorization: Action org.libvirt.unix.manage is not registered Apr 16 17:51:47 meevyl libvirtd[544743]: End of file while reading data: Input/output error >From what I could vaguely understand, the first line seems to be related to polkit but I don't quite understand how this thing is supposed to be working.
