Red Hat upgraded the libvirt provided in 7.5 from 3.2.0 to 3.9.0, but they don't provide a Xen driver, which is the reason you are seeing the dependency issue. A 4.1.0 release of libvirt is currently in testing, along with other updates to deal with CentOS 7.5 changes. You also need to exclude the seabios updates because HVM guests cannot boot using the new Red Hat version. The best workaround for now is probably to either set up yum-plugin-priorities and set a high priority on the centos-virt-xen* repo, or exclude=libvirt* seabios* in your base and updates repos. -- Kevin Stange Chief Technology Officer Steadfast | Managed Infrastructure, Datacenter and Cloud Services 800 S Wells, Suite 190 | Chicago, IL 60607 312.602.2689 X203 | Fax: 312.602.2688 kevin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | www.steadfast.net _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
