[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#812183: libvirt-daemon-system: libvirt-bin and its successors: ought probably to Conflicts: os-prober

[Thorsten Glaser]

Package: libvirt-daemon-system
Version: 1.2.9-9+deb8u1
Severity: important

Considering #788062 it’s probably for the best that “the
package people install when running a libvirt-based
virtualisation system”, i.e. whatever became of libvirt-bin,
conflicts with os-prober until that’s fixed, to prevent data
corruption in VM guests.

(I can’t believe that’s still unfixed over 7 months later,
and the no less than five subsequent uploads did not even
include a NEWS.Debian file warning admins about this.)
