[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#841953: libvirt0: virt-install generates "No bootable device" error when using --location option

[Bruno Ramos]

Package: libvirt0
Version: 2.3.0-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

detected after the upgrade to version 2.3 on sid that the virt-install command
generates "No bootable device" error when using --location option.

The exact same command is working ok in jessie completely up to date
system as of 2016-10-24).

Command (ok in jessie, failing in sid):

virt-install -v --connect qemu:///system \
--os-type linux --os-variant debianwheezy \
--name foo --disk size=4 --ram 512 \
--location http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-amd64

Installation works ok if I download the installer iso for example with this
command:

Command (ok in jessie, ok in sid):

virt-install -v --connect qemu:///system \
--os-type linux --os-variant debianwheezy \
--name foo --disk size=4 --ram 512 \
--cdrom /tmp/debian-8.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso


Best regards,

Bruno Ramos
