Good idea. I tried that and there was no problem with the build. Searching in IPFire git I found that util-macros was originally introduced as= a build dependency for pciaccess which was a dependency of libvirt. Looks like the updates of pciaccess have removed the util-macros build depend= ency, although I could not find any mention in the Changelog of pciaccess. I would propose a patch to remove this from IPFire. Let me know if you agree = and I will submit a patch.
