Upgrade path is qemu-kvm -> qemu-kvm-ma (as we provided some packages on non-x86_64 archs) -> qemu-kvm-ev (in case you enable CentOS Virt SIG QEMU repo). Opposite way is not supported and will probably break. Please wait a few days, libguestfs package will be updated fixing the bug you've hit around next week. Sadly, the new qemu-kvm-ev we prepared for CentOS 7.5 didn't get released ( https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=14764) but the new build is ready. > > Thanks! > > [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1570533 > > -- > Lance Albertson > Director > Oregon State University | Open Source Lab > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-virt mailing list > CentOS-virt at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt > > -- SANDRO BONAZZOLA ASSOCIATE MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA ENG VIRTUALIZATION R&D Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> sbonazzo at redhat.com <https://red.ht/sig> <https://redhat.com/summit> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
