Hi all,
I'm sending the following question at the request of Achim Patzner
(CCed):
```
What I did: I restored (among other machines) sys-net, sys-firewall
and work from a backup. These machines were marked as auto-start. They
were automaticaly renamed to *1 on import, their (auto-start) flags
were kept. I immediately used qvm-remove to get rid of them except
"work1" which I renamed to "work-32" using the qubes-manager.
What I expected: I expected the machines to be completely removed and
the name change being appropriately recorded in the database. I forgot
the auto-start feature at that time.
What I found:

Starting work-32
* It still tries auto-starting the "*1" VMs even though they were
removed
* It still tries starting the "work1" VM
* Nevertheless work-32 is correctly launched so on renaming the flag
remained active.
How [can I] get these entries out of the appropriate database again?
Maybe the same part of the boot process which is removing corpses of
dispVMs could do these plausibility checks for machines that do not
exist anymore. Or add a qubes-system-dbck.
