No symlinks under "/var/run/libvirt", but "/var/run" is a symlink to
"/run".
ostara ~ # file /var/run
/var/run: symbolic link to `/run'
Ok, that'll be the problem. When libvirt prepends /.oldroot onto
the path, the symlink keeps pointing to /run instead of to
/.oldroot/run :-(
On Fedora "/var/run" is a relative symlink to "../run" to avoid
these kinds of problem.
As a quick workaround you can make your symlink relative too.
I'll get a fix into the next libvirt release to deal with
absolute symlinks better.
