With these versions of qemu and its auxiliary packages I am unable to connect
to my local libvirtd daemon (qemu://system). I see the following segfault in
the journal:

Restarting the system did not solve the problem. Downgrading to the previous
qemu-* package versions as follows fixed the
problem and I am able to connect to the daemon again:
