4rc1 - Restored vm will not start due to uuid already existing?

[mannp]

Qubes OS version: 4rc1

Affected TemplateVMs: fedora-25

---

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Restore a previously backed up vm and try to start it.

Expected behavior:

vm should not already have a uuid set as it was deleted after backup.

Actual behavior:

qvm-remove does not appear to fully delete a vm from the system, leaving crud that stops a subsequent restore starting.

General notes:

I also note that qvm-remove -v does not add any verbosity? gives no output as without it.

Do you see the VM on virsh -c xen:/// list --all after removing with qvm-remove?

Install libvirt-client package in dom0 (sudo qubes-dom0-update libvirt-client) and try again.

@marmarek I have reinstalled again so that I could continue using qubes, so can no longer debug this item.
