Bug Description

postinst failure cases seem quite common here. Issues are:

libvirtd is broken on the user's system, causing socat to time out.
libvirtd races uvt-libvirt.postinst to fail, causing uvt-libvirt.postinst to think libvirtd is OK when it checks, but it later breaks.

In both cases, the postinst should be more helpful to the user about exactly what is broken (libvirtd), and what to do after fixing it (apt-get -f install).
