[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#939688: libvirt-daemon-system: loses VMs on upgrade

[Thorsten Glaser]

Package: libvirt-daemon-system
Version: 5.6.0-2
Severity: normal

Upgrading a system with one VM running:

[…]
Setting up libvirt-daemon-system (5.6.0-2) ...
Restarting libvirt logging daemon: /usr/sbin/virtlogd.
Restarting libvirt management daemon: /usr/sbin/libvirtd.

Running guests on default URI: MirBSD
Shutting down guests on default URI...
Starting shutdown on guest: MirBSD
error: Failed to shutdown domain b0994f54-15e8-bb58-2f8f-1460fc81ec6b
error: Requested operation is not valid: domain is not running
libvirt-guests is configured not to start any guests on boot
invoke-rc.d: initscript libvirt-guests, action "restart" failed.
dpkg: error processing package libvirt-daemon-system (--configure):
 installed libvirt-daemon-system package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
[…]
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libvirt-daemon-system


This was “fixed” by a “sudo dpkg -a --configure”, however,
afterwards, “virsh list --all” shows the VM as off, while
it was still running (ssh’ing into it and shutting it down
from inside worked).
