Hi,
I've noticed libvirt is persisting to have dnsmasq present and use it. Version of libvirt in question is 0.9.4.
There is no dnsmasq present on the Host during libvirt compilation, yet it seems to me ./configure wrongfully finds one:
~~~ SNIP ~~~ configure:46087: checking for dnsmasq configure:46119: result: dnsmasq ~~~ SNIP ~~~
shouldn't there be "result: no"? As far as I remember - no dnsmasq present during compilation, no usage of it later. However I might have missed something - change in behavior, requirements etc. This is possible. Still, if required "component" is missing, I say compilation resp. configure should fail.
And this of course breaks things later on:
~~~ SNIP ~~~ virsh # net-start virtnet01 error: Failed to start network virtnet01 error: Cannot find 'dnsmasq' in path: No such file or directory ~~~ SNIP ~~~
and there is no DHCP defined for 'virtnet01' thus there is no reason to bring dnsmasq in. Neither can be new network created and started via virt-manager.
Thanks, Zdenek
Yet strange enough, 'default' virtual network gets started without any problems.
I've tried unsuccessfully hack around this "problem". The far I got was: "error: Cannot find '' in path: No such file or directory".

Also, dnsmasq not required for NAT-ed networks. And libvirt-0.9.3 doesn't have this dependency resp. works as I've written above - no dnsmasq during compilation, no dnsmasq dependency later. May be some of the patches in Changelog introduced this kind of dependency? I've seen patches regarding return-codes from dnsmasq.
