Package: mmdebstrap
Version: 1.4.1-1
Severity: normal

Hello again Johannes!

As I said in bug report [#1061634], I've been able to create a QEMU/KVM
virtual machine image for autopkgtests:

  $ mkdir -p ~/var/cache/sbuild/
  $ cd /dev/shm
  $ TMPDIR=/dev/shm mmdebstrap-autopkgtest-build-qemu \
                    --size=25G --boot=efi sid sid-amd64.img
  $ chmod 660 sid-amd64.img
  $ mv -i sid-amd64.img ~/var/cache/sbuild/

[#1061634]: <https://bugs.debian.org/1061634>

It works for autopkgtests, but I wanted to use the same virtual machine
image to build Debian packages with sbuild-qemu.
The first thing I tested is the update of the VM image with
sbuild-qemu-update:

  $ sbuild-qemu-update --arch=amd64 sid-amd64.img
  qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -object 
rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0 -device 
virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0,id=rng-device0 -device virtio-serial -nic 
user,model=virtio -m 1024 -smp 1 -nographic sid-amd64.img

This command does not seem to work: it uses 100 % of one CPU core and
seemingly does nothing, until I interrupt it by pressing [Ctrl+C].

Is there any special tweak or configuration needed to use
sbuild-qemu-update with mmdebstrap-autopkgtest-build-qemu VM images?
Where is this documented?

Otherwise, if this is an actual bug, please fix
mmdebstrap-autopkgtest-build-qemu
or help sbuild-qemu developers to fix sbuild-qemu-update.

Thanks for your time and dedication!
