Comment 75 for bug 1656112

Hi Jeff,

this bug always was and seems to stay an interesting one - as on the ppc part this is actually identical to what mike tested successfully before.

Yet I think the dpkg listing you posted holds the answer.
It seems only some of the qemu packages got updated.

The fix needed would be in /usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc64 which is in qemu-system-ppc and that is not updated. The packages providing the extra libs (qemu-block-extra) are already updated which is why you see the .so load failures.

I checked if we would have build errors in proposed, but [1] exists as it should.

And while I have no power8nvl machine to test on my own I checked on a different power box that enabling proposed provides all of them as expected in my case "qemu-block-extra qemu-kvm qemu-system-common qemu-system-ppc qemu-utils".

Could you please try to make sure all packages are correctly upgraded and retry.
Maybe there is some pinning left on the machine from older experiments - also maybe Mike left some notes because, as I said, the same ppc code was already verified good from a ppa which would leave me puzzled if it won't work now.
