[Comment 1 john 2011-05-29 16:26:57 UTC]

this is needed for libvirt and virt-manager to correctly support kvm.

[Comment 2 Dimitrije Zivkovic 2011-05-29 22:53:09 UTC]

not using libvirt and virt-manager but can confirm that these files are missing...

[Comment 3 satmd 2011-05-29 23:45:23 UTC]

I can confirm this on two ~amd64 hardened no-multilib systems.

I was able to get the libvirt vms up after virsh edit ... and changing the emulator.

But virt-manager is complaining about missing kvm support when creating new vms.

[Comment 4 boospy 2011-05-30 07:52:24 UTC]

Here the same, i've done a Downgrad for the first time, until the bug is fixed.

[Comment 5 Janusz Slota 2011-05-31 12:23:15 UTC]

I experienced the same problem.

I think it's because in the ebuild function src_configure(), softmmu_targets variable is defined as local, therefore it is not accessible in the src_install() function and pkg_postinst(). However I'm not expert in this area.

Temporary workaround can be found here:

[Comment 6 Marko D 2011-05-31 13:48:54 UTC]

Looks like bug #343951 is back again. Same issue, same fix.

[Comment 7 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2011-05-31 15:58:52 UTC]

Fixed in 0.14.1-r1.
