Hi,
Thanks to Adam and Daniel for the quick answer.
I am not an expert about RPMs. I just wonder where are these
dependencies defined for libvirt (and in general for other RPMs),
since the libvirt RPM file itself is an empty file ?
Regards,
Kevin

It's effectively a meta-package that pulls in dependencies.
