#227070 — qemu-kvm won't install on Bullseye. Installs qemu-system-x86 instead.

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hello,

I installed Mint 20 on a small Partition, and then installed Elementary-OS
under qemu-kvm, which worked, but took up much of the small space I had
allocated.  So I tried to "Migrate" the Guest to a qemu-kvm on my largeri
Devuan Ascii (like Stretch), which failed, due to a back-leveled qemu-kvm.
Fair enough.

So I installed Bullseye Alpha 2.  Now here's where it gets crazy.  When I
try to install qemu-kvm, I get:  "Note, selecting 'qemu-system-x86' instead
of qemu-kvm"

And then, when I try to Define the Guest, using the file I had created,
using "virsh dumpxml abc.xml" (on Mint), I got "cannot check QEMU binary
/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64: No such file or directory"

Any insights?

Thank you,

Kenneth Parker

The 'qemu-kvm' package does no longer exist. It is a virtual package and
is being replaced by qemu-system-x86.

That is weird. On an up-to-date bullseye installation this binary is
provided by the qemu-system-x86 package. Do you have that package
installed?

Thanks!  No.  So I installed qemu-system-x86, and retried.  Now it told me
that the Guest is Defined.

People will, of course need to know the new Package Name.
