Comment 9 for bug 1243403

Hello Serge,

I am sorry for the slow response on this. I had a chance to test the packages, and it appears that they have been broken by a change to another package: qemu-system-x86 deps on ipxe-qemu, which appears to have been superceded by ipxe.

The packages are uninstallable in proposed.
