Summary:	app-emulation/libvirt[-qemu]: You must add group kvm to the system first

Description hiwatari.seiji 2016-12-24 13:47:57 UTC

Emerging libvirt client-only with the use-flags:
app-emulation/libvirt -nfs libssh -libvirtd -qemu -caps -macvtap -vepa

fails early on with the error:

 * Adding group 'qemu' to your system ...
 *  - Groupid: 77
 * Adding user 'qemu' to your system ...
 *  - Userid: 77
 *  - Shell: /sbin/nologin
 *  - Home: /dev/null
 * You must add group kvm to the system first

I guess this is because the user qemu is added to the system despite having the qemu-backend disabled with the use-flag

Merry Christmas!
