[Bug 1302724] [NEW] libvirt 1.1.1 wasn't compiled with LXC support

[Omri Bahumi]

Public bug reported:

Apparently, libvirt 1.1.1 wasn't compiled with libvirt-lxc support.
I'm installing libvirt-bin and libvirt-dev from precise-updates/havana, and libvirt-python 1.2.3 from PIP.

The build fails because it can't link against the "virt-lxc" library, as you can see here:
https://travis-ci.org/omribahumi/libvirt_metadata_api/builds/22286825#L321

Inspecting libvirt-python-1.2.3 pip package reveals that it assumes
libvirt-lxc support was compiled in if libvirt version is >= 1.0.2:

MIN_LIBVIRT_LXC = "1.0.2"
# ...
def have_libvirt_lxc():
    try:
        spawn([get_pkgcfg(),
               "--atleast-version=%s" % MIN_LIBVIRT_LXC,
             "libvirt"])
        return True
    except DistutilsExecError:
        return False

The question is, is this a libvirt-python bug or a nova-compute libvirt-
dev package bug?

Thank you,
Omri.
