Greetings,
I'm trying to install qemu from bullseye-backports on a system with libvirt from bullseye, when inspecting the output I notice this:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libvirt-daemon libvirt-daemon-system
why is that? is there a way to make both pkgs coexist?
Thanks,
Dagg
Take a look at information about one of the dependencies of 'qemu':
$ apt show qemu-system-common/bullseye-backports
The 'Breaks:' section of "qemu-system-common" package says "libvirt-daemon" needs to be at least version 7.2.0-1 or later.
Now let's see what versions of "libvirt-daemon" available in Debian repos:
$ rmadison libvirt-daemon
Since there are no backported version exists yet and latest version is 7.0.0-3, apt demands removal of conflicting packages.
You have two options.
First is to simply wait until "libvirt" will be backported from testing and hits bullseye-backports.
Second option is to try and create backported package¹ from sources available in testing by yourself.
