[Bug 799858] Re: package qemu-kvm-extras-static 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9.9 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Chris Halse Rogers]

The fix itself looks ok, but I think the changelog entry needs work -
specifically, it doesn't actually describe the problem it fixes at all.
I've rejected it from the queue; please upload again with an expanded
changelog entry (something like ‘fixes failure to install when $STUFF’).
