Hi,

I am trying to manually install libvirt 1.2.7 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (64bit). I have installed libxml2-dev libgnutls-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev python-dev, but I am facing dependency issues for libdevmapper libraries.

Is there any workaround for this dependency? OR is there any other way to install libivirt 1.2.7 on Ubuntu 12.04.

Following is the output of the error

#apt-get install libdevmapper-dev
Reading package lists... Done
