Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

this probably isn't a bug - I'm probably doing this to myself - my Lucid upgrade from Hardy broke my working qemu setup, running a win98 image. This is referred to in bug # 521994. To get the qemu working again, I removed (with aptitude) package qemu and package bochsbios from the lucid install, went back to the hardy archives, got those packages, and installed them. That way, I have a working qemu install. So, when updates came down the pipe per above, I tried to unselect all that I thought might break my working qemu setup, but I think I missed bochsbios; not sure. But, that's why I got the error above. The good news is, I was able to fix by # aptitude remove qemu-kvm, then
The following packages will be REMOVED: bochsbios{u} qemu-kvm seabios{u} vgabios{u}
And actually, I went back and installed package qemu with all of it's dependencies, but unfortunately, the lucid qemu install still misbehaves per bug # 521994.
