Saves the dependency hell that we have now left behind.

Do not make install and get into an unmaintainable mess ... fettch the src.rpm rpmbuild --rebuild libvirt 0.10.1-1.src.rpm make sure you have all the needed dependencies once the build succeeds rpm -U ..... list of new packages created. then you can roll back to older version or new ones cleanly.

fettch the src.rpm
rpmbuild –rebuild libvirt 0.10.1-1.src.rpm
make sure you have all the needed dependencies
once the build succeeds
rpm -U ….. list of new packages created.
then you can roll back to older version or new ones cleanly.
