[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#999389: libvirt-daemon: Dependency incompatibility with qemu-system-x86 and qemu-system-common from bullseye-backports

[A Ozbay]

Package: libvirt-daemon
Version: 7.0.0-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: ago_debianbug at protonmail.com

I cannot upgrade to the bullseye-backports versions of the qemu-system-x86 and qemu-system-common packages, as the dependencies of these packages require libvirt-daemon 7.0.0-3, despite the fact that I have that exact version installed.

Below you can find the output of apt:

:~$ sudo apt upgrade qemu-system-common qemu-system-x86
