OK, more problems: The upgrade made sys-net forget the WLAN password, so I don't have a net until fixed. Another problem I found was that I cannot attach a partitioned USB stick e.g. sdb to a VM; only partitions are available, and (as before) assigning a partition to a VM doesn't make the filesystem available. So I cannot access the files on my stick any more!
