The 'qemu-kvm' package does no longer exist. It is a virtual package and
is being replaced by qemu-system-x86.

That is weird. On an up-to-date bullseye installation this binary is
provided by the qemu-system-x86 package. Do you have that package
installed?

Thanks!  No.  So I installed qemu-system-x86, and retried.  Now it told me that the Guest is Defined.

People will, of course need to know the new Package Name.
