Description of problem:
libvirtd running but no guests are running.
The update of libvirt-utils hangs even after waiting 10 minutes.
After the update has been interrupted and restarted, there are no more systemd start files for libvirt under /usr/lib/systemd/system
I solved it by installing --replacepkgs over it. But it also gets stuck there because the update tries to stops or pauses the guests who are not running at all. A repeated interruption brought the desired success without deleting the systemd startup files.

If you have running guests all works fine.
