In RHEL9, there will be following error:

@YanhuiMa I use RHEL9/CentOSstream9 since a while now for my local environment and I encountered this error when you using old environments.
You can either use a complete new machine, or as a workaround enable legacy mode in libvirt in this way:

• add mode = "legacy" to /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf
• sudo systemctl restart libvirtd

@elfosardo Thank you! Maybe the issue is caused by lacking of virtproxyd.

It would be helpful if we could address this issue either through #1636 or #1607

We have been inserting a patch with great success in d/s
