Somehow I have qemu installed but not glusterfs-ganesha or pcs (on a
Rawhide system):

$ rpm -q qemu glusterfs-ganesha pcs
qemu-6.1.0-10.fc36.x86_64
package glusterfs-ganesha is not installed
package pcs is not installed

Does the tool follow soft dependencies?  I cannot see where the
qemu -> glusterfs-ganesha dependency comes from.
