Package: libvirt-bin Version: 0.9.12-5 Severity: normal libvirt in wheezy calls qemu with -nodefconfig to query the supported CPU models (-cpu ?). This ignores the cpu definition qemu ships (/usr/share/kvm/cpus-x86_64.conf in qemu-kvm). When copying the CPU flags of the host processor virt-manager will pick, in my case, SandyBridge, which libvirt then discards as not being supported. libvirt 0.9.13 will call qemu with -no-user-config[0], which will still present the newer CPU models.
