--- Begin Message ---Package: libvirt-bin Version: 0.9.12-6~bpo60+1 Severity: normal Usertags: pca.it-virtualization Hi there! During today's upgrade I was surprised to read about the new qemu-kvm required by libvirt-bin and discovering that I was still using the old one: ===== $ zcat /usr/share/doc/libvirt-bin/changelog.Debian.gz | head -n 6 libvirt (0.9.12-6~bpo60+1) squeeze-backports; urgency=low * Rebuild for squeeze-backports. * [141e575] Depend on newer qemu-kvm available via backports too since the one in Squeeze has some interop issues. $ dpkg-query -W libvirt-bin libvirt-bin 0.9.12-6~bpo60+1 $ dpkg-query -s libvirt-bin | grep qemu-kvm Recommends: netcat-openbsd, bridge-utils, dnsmasq-base (>= 2.46-1), \ iptables (>= 1.4.10), qemu-kvm (>= 1.1.2) | qemu (>= 0.9.1), \ libxml2-utils, gawk, ebtables, dmidecode, iproute, parted Enhances: qemu, qemu-kvm, xen $ dpkg-query -W qemu-kvm qemu-kvm 0.12.5+dfsg-5+squeeze10 $ apt-cache policy qemu-kvm qemu-kvm: Installed: 0.12.5+dfsg-5+squeeze10 Candidate: 0.12.5+dfsg-5+squeeze10 Version table: 1.1.2+dfsg-5~bpo60+1 0 100 http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/ squeeze-backports/main amd64 Packages *** 0.12.5+dfsg-5+squeeze10 0 500 http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.12.5+dfsg-5+squeeze9 0 500 http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main amd64 Packages $ ===== There is no notice of any possible problems in the libvirt logs and indeed libvirt-bin seems to work fine with the old qemu-kvm. Which means that, if you do not have apt-listchanges installed and you do not read the changelog.Debian before upgrading, you end up not noticing such new requirement. FYI, after having installed the new qemu-kvm libvirt-bin still works fine ;-) Given that I do not think there is a way to have the Recommends: satisfied, I would announce such requirement more prominently, e.g. in NEWS.Debian.
