Description Ogelpre 2011-12-23 00:48:41 UTC
libvirt is crying to dmidecode, but dmidecode is no dependency of libvirt.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install libvirt
2. run libvirtd
Actual Results:  
01:30:24.610: 17718: error : virSysinfoRead:465 : internal error Failed to find path for dmidecode binary

Expected Results:  
dmidecode should be a dependency of libvirt.

A simple rdepend should fix this Problem.
