The build host and the runtime host will likely be different (or at
least reinstalled).

The base set of packages should be the same, but the build one will
install a bunch of libfoo-dev while the runtime host will only get
libfoo. Perhaps some libfoo-dev is pulling in ebtables somehow while
just libfoo is not. I'll have a look next week. I think its probably
non-critical to the error here.

I'm pretty sure libvirtd did successfully start, since we have
successfully done a guest start and stop.

The failing step is a second guest start, so it seems like libvirtd has
either crashed or exited.

I suppose these messages are from start of day and therefore
red-herrings wrt the reason libvirtd went away.

The test env will have been recycled, I could try and replicate it
manually, but I think to start with I should arrange for the test env to
have more logging enabled, in the hopes that if it happens again we get
more information. I had some question around this in my reply Wei in
this thread at <1425042785.14641.188.camel@xxxxxxxxxx>.

Cheers,
Ian.
