Public bug reported: Xenial hosts that run apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade are getting 2.8 (zesty) versions of the qemu packages.
Example: Unpacking qemu-system-x86 (1:2.8+dfsg-3ubuntu2.3~cloud0) over (1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.14) ... This is causing instances to not boot under qemu as the default hardware type is set to pc-i440fx-zesty in these packages. If you override that setting and boot with pc-i440fx-xenial the instance will start. The odd thing too is the https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/qemu page shows Xenial should still be on the 2.5 version series, but if you do an apt-get dist-upgrade you get zesty packages.
