Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
NOTE: not a dupe of 418033.
I installed the current Lucid snapshot server (dev branch), selecting
OpenSSH and Virtualization, followed by dist-upgrade. I cannot start my
VM from sudo virsh, which invokes
LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin

The image is an imported Win7 VM from an older version of kvm. Import with
$ sudo virt-install --import --name Win7-x86_64-MSVC7.1 --ram 2048 --os-type
windows --os-variant win2k8 --disk path=/mnt/vm/Win7-x86_64-MSVC7.1.img
Let me know if I can help with debugging.
