[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#593229: libvirt-bin: 0.8.3-1 broke my VMs with bridge interfaces

[Tino Keitel]

Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.8.3-1
Severity: important

After upgrading to 0.8.3-1, I only get an error when I start a KVM VM using
bridge interfaces, defined like this:

    <interface type='network'>
      <source network='default'/>
      <target dev='m0d0'/>
      <model type='e1000'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04'
      function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

This is the error message:

$ virsh start vm
error: Failed to start domain vm
error: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: char
device redirected to /dev/pts/18
could not configure /dev/net/tun: Operation not permitted
