[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#955216: upgrading libvirt-daemon-system stops VMs without asking

[Marc Haber]

Package: libvirt-daemon-system
Version: 6.0.0-4
Severity: important

Hi,

since a few package versions, VMs get stopped when libvirt-daemon-system
upgrade. This is new behavior. In past versions, it was possible to
upgrade the host system without affecting the virtual machines.

If this is unavoidable new behavior, this should be at least in
NEWS.Debian. If it is not unavoidable, please consider reverting back
to the old behavior of leaving the virtual machines runinng.

Greetings
Marc
