Original commit id 'cbde3589' indicates that the cache file would be discarded if either the QEMU binary or libvirtd 'ctime' changes; however, the code only discarded if the QEMU binary time didn't match or if the new libvirtd ctime was later than what created the cache file.
This could lead to issues with respect to how the order of libvirtd images is created for maintenance or patch branches where if someone had a libvirtd created on 'date x' that was created from (a) backported patch(es) followed by a subsequent install of the primary release which would have 'date y' where if 'date x' was greater than 'date y', then features in a primary release branch may not be available.
I can see how here can be two daemons with different ctimes on the same system during development, so ACK to the change. However, when you install the daemon (even from an older package), ctime should only move forward, so I'm sceptical about its relevance to the referenced bug. Jan
