libvirt-bin should not be necessary. gnome-boxes recommends qemu- system-x86 so it should be installed on most systems; and libvirt-daemon recommends qemu-kvm so that should be installed too. Both are not integral parts of gnome boxes though, it works fine without it (e.g. managing remote machines I think).
In any case, reassigning to gnome-boxes. ** Package changed: apt (Ubuntu) => gnome-boxes (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - Dependencies not being flagged for install upon installing a new package + gnome-boxes install does not install qemu(-kvm) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768843 Title: gnome-boxes install does not install qemu(-kvm) Status in gnome-boxes package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: For example, the Ubuntu Software Center and 'apt' tool within the Terminal do not recognize and flag the packages 'qemu' "qemu-kvm" and 'libvirt-bin' for install upon installation of the gnome-boxes package. Gnome-boxes requires these packages to virtualize, and should be flagged and installed as part of the default.
