Package: qemu-system-common
Version: 2.1+dfsg-4
Severity: important
after installing a fresh debian jessie and installing virt-manager (with every
packages it depends on) VM can't start because of wrong permissions on /dev/kvm
: the group has no rw permissions on this file.
actually, this bug has been entirely described here :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/1057024
After a reboot, permissions are correctly set up, and vm can start properly.

... I was able to reproduce it with default jessie install.
The bug is in udev or libacl, it creates wrong ACL on /dev/kvm, which I
submitted
as #762339.
This was the time when qemu-system-common managed permissions for
/dev/kvm node. For a long time now, this device is managed by
default udev rules, and qemu does not touch it in any way. So
this bug has become irrelevant.
Ubuntu added a fixup for this issue (using setfacl in postinst to
fix wrong ACL), - it too is irrelevant these days.
Closing this bug report now.
Thanks,
