Package: qemu-system-common
Version: 1:9.0.2+ds-7
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
From the "qemu (1:9.0.2+ds-2) unstable; urgency=medium" changelog:
* move helper binaries (qemu-bridge-helper, virtfs-proxy-helper,
vhost-user-gpu) from usr/lib/qemu to usr/libexec/qemu
Can we not do this until tools like virt-manager and virsh are changed,
as now we have this silly 10 second delay.
Not sure how recommending users "update their scripts" helps when the
main packages that use them aren't being updated.
For now I'm having to delete the helpers in /usr/lib/qemu/ and create
symlinks to the versions in /usr/libexec/qemu/ so why don't we symlink
the whole directory or better still update qemu-system-gui,
qemu-system-common and virtiofsd to use the new path?
Similar to removing the setuid bit on qemu-bridge-helper, we need a way
to override/prevent this on upgrade using dpkg as you can't make a
symlink immutable:
