Seems to me that I happened to have updated into the broken packages. But
thanks to Richard Brown on the Micro-OS mailing list I installed the said
packages manually and now I am on the roll again.

I did not use the no recommend when installing the qemu through the
installation of the KVM patterns (patterns-server-kvm_server &
patterns-server-kvm_tools) on Micro-OS a few months back.

It might just be me, but I have a feeling that these two are used more often
than not, especially ins setting up Windows VM environments so my vote is for
having them install automatically to maintain the level of functionality for
others such as myself.
