** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: kvm
  
  Short story: Installing KVM on AMD64 does not give you the group "kvm".
+ But on x86, it does.
  
  Long story: I've been playing with KVM for a while and it's great.  I've
  complained elsewhere* that I didn't get the group "kvm" when I installed
  it on Herd 3.  Now I installed Herd 4 on my sandbox partition and still
  no good.
  
  Important detail: I installed KVM on my x86 laptop and the installation
  script did create the "kvm" group, which works fine.  Without that
  group, I'm forced to use "sudo" and run it with root privileges.
  
  This should be an easy fix, I just wanted to let the developers know
  about it.
