Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 1.2.4-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


After upgrading to 1.2.4-3 libvirtd reports:

kern.log.1:May 17 19:20:06 bob libvirtd[11315]: internal error: cannot probe 
backing volume format: Debian-7.4-base.img

This happens for every VM that I have that uses a qcow2 backing image file.  A 
google search only found anything related 
to backing files on a much earlier version of libvirtd.  I have downgraded the 
libvirt-bin and libvirt0 to 1.2.1-1 to temporarily
resolve the issue.


The script:

for f in *.img ; do
  echo
  echo "=================================="
  qemu-img info $f
done

gives this output:

There ware fixes related to this in 2.x so marking this as fixed in
stretch since I can't reproduce the problem here.
