I should have been more specific. If e.g. an LC_MESSAGE is set that
cannot be found it returns "initialization failed" and nothing more... See the
bug report.Spent >1h this morning trying to get some demonstrator running... So I
thought rather share it...
Which bug? [/me goes and looks]
Oh, you mean https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1016158
Don't make us go on a goose hunt. Post the relevant details directly in
your commit message, rather than assuming that everyone else actively
follows the bug database and can correlate the two without effort. Just
because you spent >1hr hunting down the problem doesn't mean that you
should make everyone else likewise spend time because of an incomplete
report.

I don't see any failure if I delete all the libvirt.mo files.
What are you actually doing to trigger an error, and what is the
exact error you get.
According to the BZ, this is a formula for triggering the error:
If bindtextdomain failes due to non-existing localization
information, libvirtd
dies upon startup with a very generic error:
LC_MESSAGES=non_LANG libvirtd
libvirtd: initialization failed
