Control: tag -1 + fixed-upstream Hi,

And indeed, if I add this line to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.libvirt.virt-aa-helper: /sys/bus/usb/devices/ r, … then virt-aa-helper successfully adds that line to /etc/apparmor.d/libvirt/libvirt-14dcf3fa-a4d5-4c5a-82ea-3f624b44c7ef.files: "/dev/bus/usb/002/007" rw, … and the VM starts just fine. This change was already applied upstream (commit 59249778705693e54df21710116ae213b194fa50) so we'll get it once the latest release is packaged for Debian. Cheers, -- intrigeri
