It's totally not required by it
We already build libvirt ourself, so there's no need to depend on it
qemu-virgil has a very old stable release, so we want to track edge as we used to do before. However the latest qemu-virgil is based on core24 so we should do the same or we'll end up in ABI / API issues (as various libraries won't match). So let's do it, but we also require some more changes though, in particular: - Bump libvirt version (using the old one was almost possible after some patching, but qemu is just too new at this point to work with a such old version of libvirt, so let's get the newest one we can) - drop custom libphodav: just use the archive version - Expose the libvirt daemons to the $PATH - Adapt pci.ids path to be in the (legacy) expected one by libvirt - Adapt some commands and dependencies
This can work without any previous requirement
The order here doesn't matter much
It's the latest stable version and safe enough to use
Although the usb access isn't working yet by default, but let's at least add all the dependencies and move the ones they belong to
And also it avoids being blocked by the confinement when trying to set the ACL.
…devices It allows proper USB redirection, but it requires user intervention
It's not required being already implicit
It's not required anymore as per upstream commit dbc5cc586 (44.0), so remove it for us too

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Built the snap, and did these tests:
- run a pre-installed box, made with the previous version ✔
- install a new box downloading the ISO from boxes itself ✔
- install a new box from an already downloaded ISO ✔
So, LGTM.
