Starting vlockd.service did allow the affected libvirt-packages to be updated: -8<------------------------------------ systemctl start virtlockd.service && aptitude safe-upgrade The following partially installed packages will be configured: libvirt-bin libvirt-daemon-system No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used. Setting up libvirt-daemon-system (1.2.7-10+b1) ... Setting up libvirt-bin (1.2.7-10+b1) ...
-8<------------------------------------ The original issue seems to apply to the current version of libvirt-daemon-system: -8<------------------------------------ systemctl stop virtlockd.service && dpkg-reconfigure libvirt-daemon-system Warning: Stopping virtlockd.service, but it can still be activated by: virtlockd.socket Job for virtlockd.service failed.
