Just today I was trying virt-manager and libvirt. I got this error
when creating a VM:

Unable to complete install: 'virDomainCreateLinux() failed Cannot find
QEMU binary /usr/bin/qemu: No such file or directory'

I guess libvirt is confused by qemu-system-x86_64. ¿Any ideas? I'll
try to prepare a patch.
