Package: qemu-kvm
Version: 1.0+dfsg-1
Severity: minor

Hello maintainer!

I just updated the qemu-kvm package from 0.15.1+dfsg-1 to 1.0+dfsg-2, but did
not upgrade my libvirt packages, which were still at version 0.9.2-7.

Trying to start my vms with libvirt (virt-manager) resulted in the following
error message:

| libvirtError: internal error cannot parse /usr/bin/kvm version number in 
'QEMU emulator version 1.0 (qemu-kvm-1.0 Debian 1.0+dfsg-2)

Upgrading the libvirt packages (libvirt-bin, libvirt0) to the current unstable
version 0.9.8-2 works, as is to be expected:

| libvirt (0.9.8-2) unstable; urgency=low
| 
|   * Upload to unstable. Works with qemu-kvm and qemu 1.0.
|     (Closes: #652454)

Please prevent qemu-kvm > 1 from being installed with an older libvirt version 
by adding 

| Breaks: libvirt-bin (<< 0.9.8-2~)

to th control paragraph for the qemu-kvm package.

thank you,
Uli
