This is normally OK when libvirtd is launched from start-up scripts, but it's not very helpful if you run libvirtd by hand because likely-as-not your path won't contain /usr/sbin (the normal location of dnsmasq).Bug (2) is that if libvirtd can't execvp dnsmasq, then it doesn't fail in any obvious way.Yep, I've never been able to figure out a good answer for that. We start the network at boot time, so pretty much best we could ever do is syslog() the problem. Or we could automatically shutdown the virtual network it dnsmasq fails, but i think that would be even more unpleasantBug (3) is that the path to brctl is hard-coded. This patch fixes bugs (1) & (3), but does not fix bug (2).This patch looks good to apply.
