I don't know much detail but I know how I would start to debug this.
On a sysvinit booted system I would look for running processes related
to libvirt.

    root@calamity:~# ps -efH | grep libvirt
    root      1657     1  0 Sep09 ?        00:05:18   /usr/sbin/libvirtd -d
    libvirt+  3651     1 38 Sep09 ?        4-01:18:14   qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -name guest=...


On a working system "libvirtd -d" is running in deamon mode.

    root@calamity:~# lsof -p 1657 | grep -i -e sock -e stream
    libvirtd 1657 root  mem       REG               8,18    97464  135073016 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_iostreams.so.1.62.0

    root@calamity:~# strace -v virsh list 2>&1 | grep sock
    socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)         = 5
    connect(5, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock"}, 110) = 0
    getsockname(5, {sa_family=AF_UNIX}, [128->2]) = 0


    root@calamity:~# ll /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
    srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Sep  9 19:48 /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock


It uses /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock for communications. That's the
area where things are failing for you. The client virsh can't connect
to the running libvirtd daemon.

    root@calamity:~# dpkg -S /etc/init.d/libvirtd
    libvirt-daemon-system: /etc/init.d/libvirtd


    root@calamity:~# dpkg -L libvirt-daemon-system | grep /etc/ | grep /etc/init.d/
    /etc/init.d/libvirt-guests
    /etc/init.d/libvirtd
    /etc/init.d/virtlogd


    root@calamity:~# dpkg -L libvirt-daemon-system | grep /etc/ | less


In the case of libvirtd AFAIK there is only sysvinit scripts. Which
means runit will be running them in legacy compatibility mode. That
seems to be the likely part where things are not working.

I would boot runit and then look to see how things are different. Is
the libvirtd running? Are there are any error messages at boot time
around the running of those scripts. Then to further debug run those
scripts manually. Trace them.

    root@calamity:~# ll /etc/init.d/libvirtd
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5600 Oct  1  2020 /etc/init.d/libvirtd


    root@calamity:~# less /etc/init.d/libvirtd


    root@calamity:~# service libvirtd status
    Checking status of libvirt management daemon: libvirtd not running.


    root@calamity:~# service libvirtd start


One should normally use "service" to start and stop init scripts
because it cleans the environment, changes directory, and so forth.
All needed things. Of course runit also has a native interface. For
more debugging I would run the script directly tracing it.

    root@calamity:~# sh -x /etc/init.d/libvirtd


That will produce a lot of shell tracing output. I can't really
speculate more without more detail. Hopefully by looking at what it
is doing the reason for it not doing it under runit will become
apparent. It might be a problem with the required cgroups setup. It
might be a different problem. Check the syslog to see what errors are
logged there.

    root@calamity:~# less /var/log/syslog


Hope that helps!
