Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Both virsh and virt-manager got broken: they can no longer connect to the local
hypervisor.
It used to work until last weekend' apt-get upgrade, did libvirt recently start
to use policykit/consolekit?
$ virsh --connect qemu:///system --debug 4
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: authentication failed: no agent is available to authenticate
$ virt-manager --debug --no-fork

FWIW policykit is broken in Debian now
