This package should be useful for systems that don\'t have a qemu package but need qemu-img. So, it would appear as if kvm-qemu-img is intended as a lightweight replacement for the full qemu package where all the functionality of the latter is not required. However, as I wish to use virt-manager clearly the full qemu package is required. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
