Control: reassign -1 src:libvirt 1.2.9-8 Control: tags -1 patch upstream Control: affects src:virt-manager
I've applied the patch suggested before and it did solve the issue for me. Thus re-assigning to src:libvirt.
Description: qemu: Don't try to parse -help for new QEMU Since QEMU 1.2.0, we switched to QMP probing instead of parsing -help (and other commands, such as -cpu ?) output. However, if QMP probing failed, we still tried starting QEMU with various options and parsing the output, which was guaranteed to fail because the output changed. Let's just refuse parsing -help for QEMU >= 1.2.0.
