Greetings Alexander,

thank you for the explenation, is there a place where I can see when libvirt might arrive to bullseye-backports?

Greetings,

I'm trying to install qemu from bullseye-backports on a system with libvirt from bullseye, when inspecting the output I notice this:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libvirt-daemon libvirt-daemon-system

why is that? is there a way to make both pkgs coexist?

Thanks,

Dagg



Take a look at information about one of the dependencies of 'qemu':

    $ apt show qemu-system-common/bullseye-backports



The 'Breaks:' section of "qemu-system-common" package says "libvirt-daemon" needs to be at least version 7.2.0-1 or later.

Now let's see what versions of "libvirt-daemon" available in Debian repos:

    $ rmadison libvirt-daemon



Since there are no backported version exists yet and latest version is 7.0.0-3, apt demands removal of conflicting packages.



You have two options.

First is to simply wait until "libvirt" will be backported from testing and hits bullseye-backports.

Second option is to try and create backported package¹ from sources available in testing by yourself.
