Bug Description

Hi,

for some reason the virtlogd seems not be started automatically with the libvirt-bin, but is required since it is the default log output method. The service can be manually started without any issues.

This bug is happening on:
ubuntu 14.04.3
3.19.0-25-generic kernel
libvirt-bin 1.3.1-1ubuntu10~cloud0 package

These may be related bug reports from other distributions:

Cheers,
Jan

For 14.04 and 1.3.1ubuntu10 from cloud-archive. I cannot reproduce:

1. uvt-simplestreams-libvirt sync --source http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/daily "release~(trusty)" "arch=amd64"
2. uvt-kvm create --memory 4096 --cpu 4 --disk 20 t1 release=trusty
3. uvt-kvm wait --insecure t1
4. uvt-kvm ssh --insecure t1

# in the guest
5. sudo add-apt-repository cloud-archive:mitaka
6. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends libvirt-bin

Note, there's a 1ubuntu10.1, so possible that the update resolved this issue

This works fine in yakkety (fresh install of 2.1.0) and in xenial (fresh install of 1.3.1)

So, I'd say fixed release; but it's possible that specific upgrades are broken.
