Hi,
$subject says all. The error message is:
error: internal error cannot parse /home/kraxel/bin/qemu-default version number in 'QEMU emulator version 1.0, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard'
Parsing help output for the version number is a really bad idea. query-version in QMP does the right thing:
(QEMU) query-version {u'return': {u'qemu': {u'micro': 0, u'major': 1, u'minor': 0}, u'package': ''}}
Which of course only works with new enough QEMU that is known to support QMP (which BTW we detect by checking the version number).
Or you could just try the -qmp option and if QEMU exits, it doesn't support it. That's going to be a lot more reliable than checking a version number. Regards, Anthony Liguori
Anyway, the fix is easy, we just need to assume micro is 0 if it's missing instead of requiring it to be present. A fix will come soon.
