Ok, the bigger problem with lvm2 that blocked the package management system seems to be resolved.
Now there is still the problem
"libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:656 kmod_config_parse:
 /etc/modprobe.d/qemu-system-x86.conf line 2: ignoring bad line starting

open.

The error messages indicates that there is a line with a syntax error in the file /etc/modprobe.d/qemu-system-x86.conf

Please provide the full output of

The error message tells that the second line with "group+kvm" is invalid.

I assume that there was an error when changing that config file, and it should be

options kvm_intel nested=1 group=kvm

Revision history for this message
Cliffm (c2mcatee) said : 		#10

options kvm_intel nested=1 group=kvm
The group=kvm was group+kvm

Remark: I am not sure whether "group=kvm" should be at the end of the first line, or standalone in the second.
