Public bug reported:

[ Impact ]

Apport does not allow libvirt to use EDK II provided by package qemu-
efi-riscv64 installed in the default path.

Upstream has accepted a patch for the virt-aa-helper:
https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/commit/c63bdd17b9f5c31a2511f173d60455b83d22c561


[ Test Plan ]

Create a libvirt instance with


  <os>
    <type arch='riscv64' machine='virt'>hvm</type>
    <loader readonly='yes' 
type='pflash'>/usr/share/qemu-efi-riscv64/RISCV_VIRT_CODE.fd</loader>
    <nvram type='file' 
template='/usr/share/qemu-efi-riscv64/RISCV_VIRT_VARS.fd'>
              <source file='/home/ubuntu/RISCV_VIRT_VARS.fd'/>
  </nvram>
    <boot dev='hd'/>
  </os>

It should be possible to launch the VM.


[ Where problems could occur ]

Launching the RISC-V virtual machine with EDK II might still fail.
