So closing it with "fix released".
(which had a complication for me: I changed status for ubuntu package

host OS is read only for the user running qemu, then it is not saying
that clearly. May be qemu should just exit as soon as it sees that image
is read only. I am not sure if in some kind of mode it is possible to
