Bug#840853: FTBFS on amd64 - recipe for target 'quickcheck' failed

2016-10-17 Thread Hilko Bengen
The libguestfs-test-tool run ends with a timeout ("Alarm clock") after
qemu has complained about two missing files:

After one installs sgabios, we at least get an error message that looks
somewhat meaningful.

To reproduce the problem, it's actually enough to run
libguestfs-test-tool (Package: libguestfs-tools) on a current unstable
system.
