>Description:
Multiple issues with libvirtd:

First, libvirtd complains when dnsmasq and dmidecode aren't installed but the libvirtd package doesn’t appear to list these as dependencies. 

Second, libvirtd appears to have problems locating its conf file which is installed in /usr/pkg/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf. Not sure where it looks for it, but unless the "-f" parameter is used it can't seem to find the file.  Not sure if this has implications finding the “qemu" directory that it references. (Setting log level to 1 shows it can’t locate the qemu directory.)

Third, when trying to start libvirtd with dnsmasq and dmidecode installed and specifing the conf file I get this output and libvirtd exits:

2019-10-08 12:23:31.442+0000: 138722978752512: error : daemonRunStateInit:921 : Driver state initialization failed

>How-To-Repeat:
Install libvirtd on system and try to start it
>Fix:
For first issue, install dnsmasq and dmidecode

For second issue, use the -f parameter when starting libvirtd

For the third issue, unknown - can't find any parameters in libvirtd.conf to resolve this.

 hi,

 > invalid argument: Failed to parse group 'root'

 I have fixed this problem in wip/libvirt.
 It will fall back to user=root group=root, and group=root does not exist
 on netbsd.

 (It remains in wip because I have trouble communicating over
 libvirt-sock. I might take a look at it eventually.)

 I have not fixed this. it's using our
 CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--sysconfdir=/usr/pkg/share/examples

 As an argument for finding the config files, too.
 The file in /usr/pkg/etc is just a dead copy.
