The version of libvirt you have is not expecting the new 2-digit QEMU
version numbers. Update to newer libvirt too !
Gah, silly me.
Just kicked off a scratch build for libvirt too using this srm -->
libvirt-0.9.10-4.fc17.src.rpm --
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3962625
Will retest once it's built.
Thanks.
