apt libvirt package

[Peter Crowther]

Do you want this on CentOS 8, Ubuntu 20.04, or something else?  The help we
can give you will vary quite considerably depending on the distro you use;
and, as you point out, RedHat-derived and Debian-derived distributions are
very different.

For CentOS, do you have the advanced virtualization repo enabled?

Cheers,

Peter
