Would that "bug" be a reason why my libvirtd fails?
I have libvirtd.service started and see that in the logs, 
then suffices I do:
-> $ virsh list --all
(having no VMs started)
I next thing in the logs is:
...
internal error: The provided value contains invalid 
characters: Solarstorm SFN5162F SFP+ Server Adapter
internal error: The string resource has invalid characters 
in its value
Stopping Virtualization daemon...
libvirtd.service: Deactivated successfully.
Stopped Virtualization daemon.

I'm on Centos 9 with libvirt-daemon-7.9.0-1.el9.x86_64.
With .service failed I still can start a VM.
-> $ systemctl status -l libvirtd.service

TriggeredBy: ○ libvirtd-tcp.socket
              ● libvirtd-ro.socket
              ● libvirtd-admin.socket
              ● libvirtd.socket
              ○ libvirtd-tls.socket

Is it that these versions and/or Centos 9 have introduced 
new (different defaults) ways to use/mange 'libvirtd', with 
.socket and no .service?

many thanks, L
