[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#571628: libvirt-bin: USB device path error

[Joachim Fritschi]

Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.7.6-2
Severity: normal

libvirt screws up the device path of USB devices that are passed through to a kvm machine.

Error Message:
"libvirtError: unable to set security context '115:122' on '/dev/bus/usb/002/014': No such file or directory"

lsusb shows that the device is actually at:
Bus 002 Device 012: ID 0402:5635 ALi Corp. USB 2.0 Flash Card Reader

A fix for libvirt that is supposed to corrects the bug was already posted:
