FWIW, this is a likely bad idea. The kvm binary in this case might not be tied to any other libraries in its package, but that's no guarantee for future use. Older packages, if not in the repositories, can still often be found in the pool.
Manually overwriting binaries controlled by the packaging system can cause unpredictable problems. If you do so, please back up the original version first. -- kvm can't initialize due to old kvm kernel version https://launchpad.net/bugs/80293 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
