I don't see the problem with having the daemon depend on libvirt-admin.so - it already depends on libvirt.so after all, and for example in Debian that is reflected by having the libvirt-daemon package (which contains libvirtd) depend on libvirt0 (which contains libvirt.so). It would just be a matter of adding a dependency on libvirt-admin0, or whatever the package would end up being called. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
