Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu Xenial, new release of libvirt-bin fails to cleanly install:
root@xenial-server-2016-01-18-ppc64el:~# apt-get install libvirt-bin
--snip--
Setting up libvirt-bin (1.3.1-1ubuntu1) ...

Errors were encountered while processing:
libvirt-bin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
After installing 'daemon' package, the different error would show up indicating
that init.d script uses parameters
that daemon can not handle:
Setting up libvirt-bin (1.3.1-1ubuntu1) ...
* Starting libvirt logging daemon virtlogd
[ OK ]
Starting virtlockd daemon: daemon: unrecognized option '--check'
usage: daemon [options] [--] [cmd arg...]
root@xenial-server-2016-01-18-ppc64el:~# daemon --version
daemon-0.6.4
I could not figure out exactly what version of daemon it expects. The
failing source package: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/ppc64el
/libvirt-bin/1.3.1-1ubuntu1
Offending portion of /etc/init.d/virtlockd:
start() {
echo -n "Starting $SERVICE daemon: "
daemon --pidfile $PIDFILE --check $SERVICE $PROCESS --daemon $VIRTLOCKD_ARGS
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/$SERVICE
}
