This shows you haven't got the 32-bit emulator /usr/bin/qemu installed
which is why its not recognising the i686 arch as valid.
In the past, I have always had KVM installed and not qemu, and this
sufficed to configure i686 hosts with virt-manager and run them.
So now it seems I need to change either i686 to x86_64 in the
configuration files, either I need to have plain qemu installed. Why is
this needed now?
