Hey,
so libvirt-php is not really that well maintained. The original author
moved to different project and I used to do at least very basic
maintenance but also got side tracked too often.
Looking into the code, which lives at:
https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt-php
it's the installation_get_xml() function that's failing:
https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt-php/-/blob/master/src/libvirt-php.c#L2353
and honestly, I don't have any clue why. Do you think you could attach a
debugger and step through the function to find out which line is failing?
