[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#900401: /usr/bin/virsh: After latest Debian upgrade many commands stopped working

[Thomas Nilsson]

Package: libvirt-clients
Version: 3.0.0-4+deb9u3
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/virsh

Dear Maintainer,

virsh commands like

virsh list
virsh shutdown <domain>

hangs directly when issued. virsh can be started as a shell but when the
commands are executed it hangs. This happens even if virsh is run as
root. Nothing is seen in syslog. The commands did work before the latest
qemu sets of packages where installed. (I am following Debian stable) Maybe
this a problem of on of those packages instead?
