Package: qemu-guest-agent
Version: 1:7.2+dfsg-7+deb12u3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Either updating the qemu-guest-agent package, or (for testing)
reinstalling it, the guest agent is no longer running, until either
manually restarted or the VM rebooted.
Before:
root@template:~# ps ax|grep qemu
661 ? Ssl 0:01 /usr/sbin/qemu-ga
Action to reproduce:
root@template:~# apt install --reinstall qemu-guest-agent

After:

3740 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep qemu
(qemu-ga no longer running)
Manually restarting makes it run again just fine:
root@template:~# systemctl restart qemu-guest-agent
root@template:~# ps ax|grep qemu
3743 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/sbin/qemu-ga
3746 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep qemu
This creates problems no longer being able to cleanly shutdown
or reboot VMs on proxmox host, especially with the guest agent
"killed" unnoticed by unattended-upgrades in the background.
Greetings,
Sven
