Hi Richard,
Thank you for pointing me to the right direction, I had no idea that those were the two required sub-packages for the functionality. I am honestly learning new things everytime I ask a question in this community!
Yeah, basically, the upstream QEMU project is working *a lot* on modularizing the code and the build system. As said by Bruce in the bug report, we're doing the same for our packages. A more modular set of packages, with a much finer grain split of functionalities among packages would be, IMO, something very nice, in the long run. The flip side is that it makes dependencies tricky, especially during the transition. :-) This, in fact, happened to others as well: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1175436#c7 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1175320 FWIW, it's bitten other as well (and there's more than just the packages issue, i.e., there's the fact that libvirt caches QEMU capabilities and some more complicated stuff): https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2020-August/msg00249.html This is, again, FYI, in case you would be interested. Point being this modularization is proving challenging and it indeed caused some issues, no matter how hard we tried to avoid that. :-)
I would like to confirm that installing the two sub-packages seems to have fixed the issue, of course I just checked over a slow internet connection right before bed. More testing to follow early tomorrow morning on a more proper (wired) connection.
That is great to hear. :-)
As for submitting the bug, I went ahead and submitted my first bug (https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1176517) which I hope is done satisfactorily.
And thanks for this. Much appreciated. :-D Regards -- Dario Faggioli, Ph.D http://about.me/dario.faggioli Virtualization Software Engineer SUSE Labs, SUSE https://www.suse.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- <<This happens because _I_ choose it to happen!>> (Raistlin Majere)
