This is arguably a kvm bug, in that kvm should check /usr/share/kvm instead of or as well as /usr/share/qemu , so I've added kvm to the affects list.
I can confirm this issue in Lucid as of five minutes ago: $ apt-cache policy kvm kvm-pxe kvm: Installed: 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu16+0.12.3+noroms+0ubuntu9 Candidate: 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu16+0.12.3+noroms+0ubuntu9 Version table: *** 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu16+0.12.3+noroms+0ubuntu9 0 500 http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status kvm-pxe: Installed: 5.4.4-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 5.4.4-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 5.4.4-1ubuntu1 0 500 http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
