So I noticed that our job (pkvmci ironic job) has the /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf file. I ran the following:

$ dpkg -S /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
libvirt-bin: /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf

This means that libvirt-bin is what provides the missing file.

Did some digging in our latest success log and found that libvirt-bin gets installed as a dependency (Do a find on libvirt-bin on the file below for more info):

https://dal05.objectstorage.softlayer.net/v1/AUTH_3d8e6ecb-f597-448c-8ec2-164e9f710dd6/pkvmci/ironic/38/460038/2/check-ironic/tempest-dsvm-ironic-agent_ipmitool/9d01d3e/devstacklog.txt.gz

I noticed that in your provided logs this dependency is not installed (grep your devstacklog.txt for libvirt-bin). It's a recommended package, but not required. Can you do a 'apt-show-versions libvirt-bin'?

[Rajini Karthik (rajini-karthik)]

The libvirt installation seems to be missing from the image. May be it failed. Doing a update and installing it in the pre-hook-test solves this.

sudo apt-get update && apt-get install -y qemu-kvm libvirt-bin

[Michael Turek (mjturek)]

So we have a workaround at least. Still, devstack should be handling this dependency.

Hi Rajini, are you still seeing this issue?
