Bug Description

The cron job /etc/cron.daily/libvirt-bin which belongs to the libvirt-bin package generates error messages (mailed by cron) when there is a file in /etc/libvirt/qemu that has white space in its name.

I've attached a patch which rectifies the problem by using the shell built-in pathname expansion.
