I just ran into this in Rawhide, and I don't have ipv6 blacklisted. But
still:

[root at adam adamw]# virsh net-start default
error: Failed to start network default
error: cannot create bridge 'virbr0': Package not installed
[root at adam adamw]# rpm -qa | grep bridge
bridge-utils-1.5-2.fc16.x86_64

What else could cause this error? Anyone?
