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

      I was attempting to set up a new RHEL 9.3 system to use Cockpit to manage virtual machines.  I installed the cockpit-machines package, however, this did not automatically install libvirt-daemon, which from what I understand, is required in order to manage virtual machines with Cockpit.  

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      cockpit-machines-298-2.el9_3.noarch

      How reproducible:

      Every time

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Build a new RHEL 9.3 system
      2. Install cockpit-machines (either from the command line with DNF, or from within Cockpit from the Applications screen)
      3. Go to "Virtual machines" within Cockpit

      Expected results

      All required libvirt packages needed by Cockpit are installed as dependencies when installing cockpit-machines.

      Actual results

      Cockpit shows a message that "Virtualization service (libvirt) is not active".  I then have to manually install the libvirt-daemon package to enable the libvirtd service.
