Please don't top post on libvirt mailing lists.

libvirtd.socket exists on your system, and libvirtd-{tcp,tls}.socket
are part of the same package (libvirt-daemon-system):

  https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/amd64/libvirt-daemon-system/filelist

So, unless you've gone out of your way to delete the corresponding
files, they will be there.

What does

  $ systemctl status libvirtd-{tcp,tls}.socket

tell you? And what the output of

  $ ls -l /lib/systemd/system/libvirtd-{tcp,tls}.socket

look like?
