New issue by FantasyCookie17 on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/23724

Description:
### System

* xuname:  
  `Void 5.7.9_1 x86_64-musl AuthenticAMD notuptodate rFFF`
* package:  
  `libvirt-6.5.0_1`

### Expected behavior
Connecting to `qemu:///system` or `qemu+ssh://root@hostname/system` (with `openbsd-netcat` installed) with `virsh` or `virt-manager` should work. QEMU VMs should be booted.

### Actual behavior
Connecting with any of the above hangs indefinitely. QEMU VMs are not started.

### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Install libvirt and virsh or virt-manager. If connecting via SSH, also install openbsd-netcat.
2. Enable and start libvirtd, virtlogd and virtlockd.
3. Try to connect.

Is your user in the `libvirt` group?

Comment:
Connecting to `root@host` should avoid any `libvirt` group issues, but is also a bad idea. Have you tried connecting to `qemu+ssh://user@host/system` for some user in the `libvirt` group?

Comment:
Well, the problem is it doesn't seem to do anything at all. My QEMU VMs that previously worked were not started either and such. So, I'd suppose connecting as a different user wouldn't work, even `virsh list` didn't. However, others on the IRC were not able to reproduce the issue, and I myself have found a solution that works for me (start QEMU VMs manually as individual Runit services), so I'm closing this for now.
