[Description Alexander Vershilov (RETIRED) 2012-10-26 15:37:44 UTC]

libvirt requires dbus to be started.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. stop dbus service
2. rc-service libvirt start
3. 
Actual Results:  
service will be stopped, and error about missing debug can be found in log

Expected Results:  
libvirtd should require dbus to be started.

can be fixed by adding 
after dbus 
into /etc/init.d/libvirtd

Actually "use dbus" would be more correct. Since its using D-Bus but does not need it. It only uses it for Avahi advertisement and then FirewallD integration which is a D-Bus service for iptables and friends. You are seeing the result of the 2nd instance. Gentoo doesn't support FirewallD however.

I missed one more use of DBus. When you enable PolicyKit integration.

Honestly, I see what happened. FirewallD was implicitly turned on. I've forcefully disabled it in the tree.

Ignore the fact that I added a use dbus, that's really for the no-op nature.
