Since libvirt-daemon-1.2.8-5 fixes the problem, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. The libvirt-daemon-1.2.8-1 has an error in the spec file scripts which causes removal failure. I had to manually rpm -e --noscripts libvirt-daemon-1.2.8-1.fc20.x86_64 and then I reinstalled libvirt-daemon-1.2.8-5 to make sure things were "clean". The error was: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.bvfDlf: line 8: libvirtd.socket: command not found error: %preun(libvirt-daemon-1.2.8-1.fc20.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 Error in PREUN scriptlet in rpm package libvirt-daemon Gene
