[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#572625: More info

[Giovanni Toraldo]

Hi Guido,

sorry for the delay.

The problem is reproducible with a Debian Lenny with current packages
of virt-manager, libvirtd and qemu-kvm from backports.org

I can reproduce the error, even when attaching a simple iso to a
machine, with an iso put on /var/lib/libvirtd/images:

ls -l /var/lib/libvirt/images/
totale 600832
-rw-r----- 1 libvirt-qemu kvm 615251968 17 mar 15:40 windowsxpsp3.iso

I copied the iso with root privileges, (was root:root 644 before
trying to attach to a domain). After the error, the situation is what
you see. My user is in the libvirt and kvm system groups.

I cannot attach any domain XML, because the error raise at the end of
the wizard for creating a new domain in virt-manager.

libvirtd.conf and qemu.conf are unmodified.
