I can confirm that installing a newer version of libvirt fixes the issue. We just did this for an nova-libvirt container in the Openstack Victoria release, wich we had upgraded from Rocky. We used the latest available libvirt version for Ubuntu 20.04: 6.0.0-0ubuntu8.12 -- You received this bug

"additionally testing during SRU verification that libvirt correctly still rejects what it should" I can try then, but I'm not 100% sure I can easily recreate that case. If I can then sure, if not we should not block on it IMHO as the backported code matches the >=Groovy behavior anyway. --

MP approved for upload and subsequent SRU accept. Given this relaxes the previous commit https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=3615e8b39bad, would there be value in additionally testing during SRU verification that libvirt correctly still rejects what it should, as well as that this

Thanks Alex, I'll rebase and polish it and hand it over to a team member for review then. But what I'd still need is some written out test steps for the SRU process. Since you have just verified it would you mind adding a statement here that I could copy into the SRU template then? ** Tags

Thanks everyone, I agree that we'd want to consider this for Focals libvirt. But there is a quite excessive series of changes in v6.0.0 -> v6.1.0 before the referenced change took place. So it will either be a massive backport (picking much more related changes to cherry-pick) or have a rather
