Description Andrei Slavoiu 2023-09-09 08:43:58 UTC 
I just deleted libvirt from the dependencies and guestfs-tools built just fine and I was able to run virt-sparsify without any issue. Looks like guestfs-tools should have a libvirt USE flag just like libguestfs already does.

Reproducible: Always

Forgot to mention, I don't have libvirt installed:

$ emerge -s app-emulation/libvirt guestfs-tools
