Description:
virt-manager fails to start with the error:
ImportError: libssh.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

# readelf -d /usr/lib/libvirt.so|grep ssh
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libssh.so.4]
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libssh2.so.1]

Installing libssh fixes it.



Full error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 24, in <module>
import cygvirtmod as libvirtmod
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cygvirtmod'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  libvirt 6.3.0-1 has libssh as dependency

libssh is pulled in by qemu since it switched from libssh2  FS#63483  then autodetected by configure.
It could be disabled by configure or added as a dependency.
@miffe does this PKGBUILD work for you? It adds libssh as a dependency.
   PKGBUILD (6.3 KiB)
   libvirt.sysusers.d (0 KiB)
   libvirt.tmpfiles.d (0.2 KiB)

That fixes it.

Note that I don't have qemu installed on this machine. virt-manager is only used to manage libvirtd on another machine.
