Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.9.12-11
Severity: important

Apparently libvirt in wheezy no longer supports cloning to an LVM
logical volume. Virt-clone and virt-manager both return the same error
message (I'm not sure if this was ever possible with virsh, at least a
suitable command isn't obvious): 

"ERROR    Clone onto existing storage volume is not supported: '/dev/virt/test'"

With virt-clone the command to do this is something like this (after
creating the LV with lvcreate):

virt-clone --connect qemu:///system --original=template --name=test
--file=/dev/virt/test

In virt-manager the same result is reached simply by selecting clone and
choosing a logical volume (which the system allows you to create, but
not use).

In the squeeze version this worked perfectly. This is a major (and as
far as I can see completely undocumented) regression in functionality.
