[Paul Collins]

Public bug reported:

qemu-img convert -O raw with yields a file of the correct length with no
content, e.g.:

$ qemu-img convert -O raw trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.raw
$ ls -l trusty-*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 paul paul  255590912 Sep 10 09:14 trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 paul paul 2361393152 Sep 10 15:13 trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.raw
$ du -sh trusty-*
244M    trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img
0       trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.raw
$ dpkg-query -W qemu-utils
qemu-utils      2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.3
$ lsb_release -c
Codename:       trusty

qemu-img in precise and in utopic both seem to work correctly, e.g.:

$ qemu-img convert -O raw trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.raw
$ ls -l trusty-*
-rw-r--r-- 1 paul paul  255590912 Sep  9 21:14 trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img
