An update that has two fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for libguestfs fixes the following issue:

Disable locking when invoking QEMU on a qcow2 drive. (bsc#1190270, bsc#1192981)

• QEMU higher than 2.10 started to do mandatory locking. This checks the QMP schema to see if we are using that version of QEMU.
• Disable QEMU locking when opening read-only drives
• QEMU does not accept options unrecognized by the block driver in use. Disable locking only for read-only disks that are file-backed, as that's the only block driver it is supported with.
• Use old-style file= and format= parameters when not disabling locking.
