[Bug 1243403] Re: Upgrade from qemu 1.0+noroms-0ubuntu14.11 fails

[William Kelly]

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have been superceded by ipxe.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.
