Package: qemu-system-x86
Version: 1:6.2+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Justification: qemu always crashes at startup in one (fairly common) use case
Forwarded: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/786
When called with the necessary parameters to loop through the Windows
license key that is embedded in my laptop (through libvirt), qemu fails
with an assertion:
internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: qxl_send_events:
spice-server bug: guest stopped, ignoring
**
ERROR:../../hw/acpi/aml-build.c:61:build_append_padded_str: assertion failed:

Resulting in a failure to start the Windows VM.
