Sometimes, additional "packages" are just extra options or additional libraries which are shipped as separate binaries. Because buildroot builds the package from scratch they can be shown as options and dependencies and therefore don't need additional packages. For example BR2_PACKAGE_QEMU_SYSTEM is the correct option for building what other projects might call "qemu-system". As such, we don't always need specific packages explicitly. Is there something specifically you need from libvirt? From a buildroot perspective libvirt is a bit redundant. Since you know categorically you'll be running on QEMU, why do you need an abstraction layer? You don't need to jump from QEMU/KVM to Xen or VMWare in a scratchbuilt environment like buildroot. You get that benefit by being the designer of the environment. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
