Description:
Running qemu with `sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4G -smp 4 -enable-kvm -hda /dev/sda -snapshot -cpu host -pflash /usr/share/ovmf/ovmf_x64.bin -runas $USER -spice port=5930,disable-ticketing,addr=127.0.0.1 -vga qxl` results in the error `qemu-system-x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: libsnappy.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`. After installing the package snappy, it works. Either I'm doing something wrong, or qemu seems to require snappy. It would be nice if it were to be added as a depend or optional depend in the qemu package.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
qemu 2.3.0-5
* config and/or log files etc.
No config files were changed.


Steps to reproduce:
Every time I tried running qemu without snappy installed, it displayed this error, so I think that's it to reproduce it.
This task depends upon

there is also another warning message after running qemu :

Failed to open module: libgfapi.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

despite this warning message qemu works without problems

Yes, although that does not stop qemu from running. There is some discussion of that issue here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45819.

Just to simplify the test case, 'qemu-system-x86_64' all by itself as a plain user is enough to generate the snappy error.

I added it, will be ok on the next pkg release.
