/etc/qemu-ifup and /etc/qemu-ifdown don't check if the bridge exists
before trying to add devices. Initially it looked like this may be the
cause, but fixing them doesn't help.
** Summary changed:
- qemu-ifup script stops libvirt 'ethernet' interface machines from starting.
+ libvirt 'ethernet' interface machines won't start.
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
- qemu-kvm assumes that a bridge exists (/etc/qemu-ifup doesn't check if
- the bridge exists before adding an interface to it.) and that the user
- will always want the interface added to it.
+ Machines with generic ethernet interfaces defined in Qemu simply don't
+ start
- This is not necessarily the case and causes properly defined machines
- via libvirt to fail with a cryptic error.
+ Properly defined machines via libvirt to fail with a cryptic error.
