A previous patch forced libnl-3 and netcf-0.2.2 (which itself requires libnl-3) when *building* for Fedora 18+ (and RHEL 7+), but the install-time Requires: for netcf has always been implicit due to libvirtd linking with libnetcf.so. However, the since the API of netcf didn't change when it was rebuilt to use libnl-3, the internal library version didn't change either, making it possible (from rpm's point of view) to upgrade libvirt without upgrading netcf (in reality, that leads to a segfault - see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853381). The solution is to put an explicit Requires: line in libvirt's specfile for fedora >= 18 and rhel >= 7.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
