Hi Jürg,
thanks for using the tool - I rarely do so I appreciate your testing.
Furthermore identifying the fix is nice.

So this went into libvirt in 3.2, so >=Artful is fixed.

SRUs for Xenial and Zesty, testing the applicability of the patch and if it works in these ...

Using the backport done by Jürg, slight adaptions for Zesty but all fine I think.
Now doing Test builds in ppa's and making the SRU template ready while that is going on.

Waiting for the test builds to be complete and testable (likely tmrw) before continuing.

Tested for this bug from https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/3027
Worked for zesty and xenial with the fix as Jürg had already initially reported (was still worth to check before upload).

Basic (single arch) regression check on the ppa done as well to ensure we are not accidentally regress on another part due to the change.

That said, all is ready uploading into -unapproved for the SRU team to review.

Hello Juerg, or anyone else affected,

Accepted libvirt into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/1.3.1-1ubuntu10.15 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.
