Summary0003893: libvirt-bin is missing when run apt-get install libvirt-bin
Description

I want to start intel VT feature for my Android emulator. According to this (https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2012/03/12/how-to-start-intel-hardware-assisted-virtualization-hypervisor-on-linux-to-speed-up-intel-android-x86-emulator), I need to install kvm first.

Note that /proc/cpuinfo return vmx which means my cpu has VT enabled.

Based on this (https://wiki.debian.org/KVM) and this (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37087365/how-to-enable-vt-x-in-bios-and-kvm-modules-on-linux), I need to install libvirt-bin.

But libvirt-bin package seems missing:

I found similar bug report at https://bugs.kali.org/print_bug_page.php?bug_id=867, but it was resolved 3 years ago.

I also found this related discussion (https://forums.whonix.org/t/e-unable-to-locate-package-libvirt-bin-vir-manager/1147/14), but it's not Kali repo.

My /etc/apt/sources.list content (done sudo apt-get update without error):

deb http://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
deb-src http://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib

Steps To Reproduce

xb@dnxb:~/note$ sudo apt-get install libvirt-bin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libvirt-bin is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-dev libvirt-clients libvirt-dev:i386 libvirt-daemon-system:i386 libvirt-clients:i386

E: Package 'libvirt-bin' has no installation candidate

Things change and documentation get obsolete... apt is already giving you the right indication. libvirt-bin has been split into multiple packages and you want libvirt-daemon-system and libvirt-clients.
