Hi Orion, Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure how much out of sync the 
modules were honestly in case you mention. Last time I was doing some 
testing I was able to use 'virt-devel' in RHEL 8.0. I remember well 
because of discussion about "where the libssh2-devel package is" that I 
started - https://access.redhat.com/discussions/4342891

But I'm not sure if the CentOS 8 should just catch up on some previous 
updates or if those modules are rather missing. As of now I can only see 
that package is being build (link posted in originaly), but I don't see 
it in PowerTools repo anywhere - 
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/PowerTools/x86_64/os/Packages/

Lets see if the updates for CentOS 8.0 would fix this.
