Unit libvirtd.service could not be found. on VM

[Dana Elfassy]

Thanks,
I discovered I had wrong permissions for /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/, after
setting them to drwxr-x--x. qemu qemu and executing daemon-reload
libvirtd.service exists now on my vms :)
However - I'm not able to get it to run. In the journal I see the message
libvirtd[6800]: Unable to import CA certificate list
/etc/pki/vdsm/certs/cacert.pem
I have verified its permissions and that it's not empty.
I also executed update-ca-trust, but still not able to start the service,
any suggestions on this one?
Dana
