For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.8.3-5+squeeze4. For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.12-11. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.12-11. We recommend that you upgrade your libvirt-bin packages.
