package libvirt-bin 1.1.1-0ubuntu8.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Christian Parpart]

I just want to have virt-manager + libvirt running.

it seems like /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf doesn't exist (the folder does). but reinstalling libvirt doesn't fix that either.

Interestingly my laptop's 13.10 works just fine, however, this 13.10 install here was a clean install too (no upgrade).

Thanks for reporting this bug.

I can't reproduce this, a straightforward install on 13.10 installs the
file for me here.

Could you please try

 sudo apt-get -y purge libvirt-bin
 sudo apt-get -y install libvirt-bin

And see if that recreates the file?

If it does not, please show the result of 'dpkg -l libvirt-bin' and the
contents of the /var/log/apt/term.log file.
