      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      After installation of libvirt-9.10.0-1.el9 from centos-appstream repo on Centos 9-Stream.
      Calling function getType() from python3-libvirt returns DecodeError.

      Although with libvirt-9.9.0-1.el9 or libvirt-10.0.0-2.el9 it works just fine.

       

      Is it possible to promote libvirt-10.0.0-2.el9 to be a publicly available?

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      libvirt-9.10.0-1.el9

      How reproducible:

      With python3-libvirt and call function getType()

      >>> import libvirt
      >>> conn = libvirt.open('qemu:///system')
      >>> conn.getType()
      'QEMU'
