But all the .socket files are generated from `src/remote/libvirtd.socket.in` and the line which causes trouble for you is probably this one: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/a619e28dba8c/src/remote/libvirt... This is used in `src/meson.build` to generate socket files for all the services: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/a619e28dba8c/src/meson.build#L7... The proxy daemon service lists the other sockets as dependencies here (even though it uses variable clearly named `*_conflicts`): https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/a619e28dba8c/src/remote/meson.b... and I'm not sure whether that should be prefixed with "Conflicts=" or whether the `conflicts` field should come into play, although it looks like it is not used anywhere else: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/a619e28dba8c/src/meson.build#L204 So long story short: I do not have a right solution for you, but I hope this can help you figure out where to go from here. Actually, let me check if the `deps` are used anywhere else for a unit... yep, it is, for virtxend and it actually uses it for the whole line it needs in that context. So maybe a simple patch like this could help? diff --git i/src/remote/meson.build w/src/remote/meson.build index 9ad2f6ab1c26..0a188268b58b 100644 --- i/src/remote/meson.build +++ w/src/remote/meson.build @@ -230,7 +230,7 @@ if conf.has('WITH_REMOTE') 'name': 'Libvirt proxy', 'sockprefix': 'libvirt', 'sockets': [ 'main', 'ro', 'admin', 'tcp', 'tls' ], - 'deps': libvirtd_socket_conflicts, + 'deps': 'Conflicts=' + libvirtd_socket_conflicts, } openrc_init_files += { -- I'm not well versed in the systemd unit files, so feel free to adjust for whatever feels right.
