Libguestfs - Jan 2014 - [virt-builder] symbol lookup error: /lib64/libgnutls.so.28 - undefined symbol: nettle_secp_256r1

Running virt-builder in a guest Fedora-20 guest hypervisor w/ Rawhide
Kernel, throws the below:

  $ virt-builder fedora-20 --format qcow2 --size 20G
  virt-builder: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libgnutls.so.28: undefined
symbol: nettle_secp_256r1


Version on L1 (guest hypervisor)
--------------------------------

I should note that the very guest (L1) I was trying to run virt-builder
on, was created using virt-builder on L0. Only difference I see -- L0 is
running F20 Kernel - 3.12.8-300.fc20.x86_64, while L1 is running the
latest (3.14.0-0.rc0.git9.1.fc21) from current Rawhide.

Ok, w/ L0 & L1 both at 3.12.8-300.fc20.x86_64, I still see the same
undefined --  undefined symbol: nettle_secp_256r1

I could independently confirm this by running virt-install on L1:

[. . .]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-install", line 31, in
<module>
    import libvirt
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 28, in
<module>
    raise lib_e
ImportError: /lib64/libgnutls.so.28: undefined symbol: nettle_secp_256r1
[. . .]


I wonder, is this probably because, I'm mixing versions?

Version
-------

  $ rpm -q virt-install
  virt-install-0.10.0-5.git1ffcc0cc.fc21.noarch

A couple of ideas:
1) libgnutls has been upgraded and it uses newer symbols from libnettle
   without a proper versioned dependency on it
2) libnettle has been upgraded, removing symbols used by libgnutls (that
   would be an ABI break)

So either there was an ABI break, or there's a too low dependency in 
those two packages.

This would be my guess too.  I'll see if I can reproduce this in
Rawhide ...
