Hello,

I got the following message when updating:
Warnung: /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml installed as 
/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml.pacnew

As I wanted to know what to copy from the pacnew file, I did:
sudo diff /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml 
/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml.pacnew

The result was:
1,7d0
< <!--

First, I noticed the removal of the warning - obviously this file hasn't 
been used for manual configurations (instead auto-configured) - what has 
changed in configuration handling?

Second, the uuid has changed - why?

So, do I have to change my original file or better ignor the pacnew file?

Kind regards
Peter
