Bug Description

The libsys-virt-perl package currently in Wily proposed [1] fails to build from source [2]. It fails because it depends on libvirt-daemon, and this package is not available in Ubuntu.

The libvirt source package is packaged directly in Ubuntu [3], but the version available in Debian offers more binary packages [4], among others libvirt-daemon. So when libsys-virt-perl is built in Debian it works fine, but when it gets synced to Ubuntu it fails, because the same packages are not available.

For now this would be fixed by changing the dependency of libsys-virt-perl.

This package strictly requires libvirt 1.2.16 or later which has not been merged into Wily, yet. So this cannot be handled before libvirt got merged.

libvirt 1.2.16 is merged now

So now that libvirt in merged we could re-upload with the fixed dependency.

This bug was fixed in the package libsys-virt-perl - 1.2.16-1ubuntu1

---------------
libsys-virt-perl (1.2.16-1ubuntu1) wily; urgency=low

  * Replace build dependency on libvirt-daemon by libvirt-bin for now
    (LP: #1464860).
