Okay, that tracks. It's surprising that you were able to start VMs at
all after that point though, I would have expected trouble to have
begun back then.

Can you please provide the full log for the relevant apt transaction?

Thanks. Can you please provide the output of

  $ sudo find /etc/libvirt/    -ls | grep -i conf
  $ sudo find /etc/apparmor.d/ -ls | grep -i virt

so that I can get a clearer picture? I should have asked for this to
begin with, sorry :)

It's weird that you got the prompt at all: if I'm reading the code
correctly, that shouldn't have happened. Of course that's arguably in
itself a problem...
