Hi all,
I'm trying to install libvirt for xen on a brand new, minimal installation of CentOS 7.5.1804. After installing the OS, I did a 'yum update' and followed the basic how-tos at
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart
and
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart/Xen4Libvirt
From previous experience, I know that the above steps worked fine. However, now on CentOS 7.5, I am seeing the dependency resolution failing.
$ yum install libvirt libvirt-daemon-xen [ ... ] Error: Package: libvirt-daemon-xen-3.2.1-402.el7.x86_64 (centos-virt-xen-46) Requires: libvirt-daemon-driver-nwfilter = 3.2.1-402.el7 Available: libvirt-daemon-driver-nwfilter-3.2.1-402.el7.x86_64 (centos-virt-xen-46) libvirt-daemon-driver-nwfilter = 3.2.1-402.el7 Available: libvirt-daemon-driver-nwfilter-3.9.0-14.el7.x86_64 (base) libvirt-daemon-driver-nwfilter = 3.9.0-14.el7 Installing: libvirt-daemon-driver-nwfilter-3.9.0-14.el7_5.2.x86_64 (updates) libvirt-daemon-driver-nwfilter = 3.9.0-14.el7_5.2 Error: Package: libvirt-daemon-driver-libxl-3.2.1-402.el7.x86_64 (centos-virt-xen-46) Requires: libvirt-daemon = 3.2.1-402.el7 Available: libvirt-daemon-3.2.1-402.el7.x86_64 (centos-virt-xen-46) libvirt-daemon = 3.2.1-402.el7 Available: libvirt-daemon-3.9.0-14.el7.x86_64 (base) libvirt-daemon = 3.9.0-14.el7 Installing: libvirt-daemon-3.9.0-14.el7_5.2.x86_64 (updates) libvirt-daemon = 3.9.0-14.el7_5.2

I've never seen an error like this before. As far as I read it, libvirt-daemon-xen wants version 3.2.1 of its dependencies. I've checked the repositories and it seems that in 'base' and 'updates' we have version 3.9.0 and in the 'virt' repo we have 3.2.1 of libvirt. Can I solve this issue on my end? Should I force yum to install the packages from the 'virt' repo?
